It's hard to know where to start when describing the Frick Collection, because the building, the former home of Henry Clay Frick, is as amazing as the highly refined, connoisseur's collection of European paintings, sculptures, furniture and porcelains, that it houses. Located on 5th Avenue between 70th an 71st street on the Upper East Side , the building occupies an entire city block that was the talk of the town when it was built and remains a marvel and monument to the Gilded Age. Unless you are arriving by bus or taxi, the museum is about a 20 min. walk from the closest subway station ( 68th Street & Lexington Ave) on the Green Line. Adult admission price is $22, but there are discounts for seniors and students and reduced or free admission on certain days (check the website for details).
