This is the original home of the wealthy Frick family who collected fine furnishings and art which were all bequeathed to NYC to operate as a museum. While the bulk of the items stay the same since they are original to the home, they do hold small new exhibits from time to time. One visit is sufficient to see everything. Note on the first Friday of each month, admission is free from 6 pm to closing at 9 p.m. Be prepared to stand in line for the free evenings but not for long. At this time students and visitors often sit in the garden room to sketch. The Frick also holds small intimate concerts for which you should check the local listings. It is an absolutely beautiful place and well worth a visit.
