This is a beautiful art collection and not only that, the architecture is amazing. Every detail about the building is as much a masterpiece as the art itself, from the floorboards, to the chair rails to the crown molding, ceilings and everything in between. You are really doing yourself a disservice if your don't spend some time looking up.

It's such an amazing example of the craftsmanship of the era. You can really feel how much the artisans who worked on all the details of the building and furniture and not only the art just poured their heart and souls into their work. I was honestly moved to tears at some points, because it was just so beautiful to see all this work, that people had created not with a machine, but with their own two hands. The detail and perfection are something you simply never see anymore.

The frames around the paintings are often as much a work of art as the paintings themselves. The cabinets that the the statuary and clocks and vases sit on have the same quality, be often being just as beautiful as the works themselves.

Anyone who appreciates architecture, or woodwork will be in heaven in this place, I know I was, I spent hours here just absorbing every detail. Unfortunately they don't let you take pictures throughout most the museum but they offer a nice selection of postcards of the artworks and I have to admit, be because I couldn't take any pictures I was forced to enjoy and to remember the work better that if I had been able to take all the pictures in the world.

They have a coat check and a restroom a both as be plus in NYC, though the building is cooler than average for to the amount of art and it's storage needs.

On Wednesday's you can pay what you think it's fair and I believe every other day if the week it is $22 for adults, I don't recall for children or seniors but I do recall that no children under age 10 are allowed in to see the collection to prevent damage.

It's just a truly beautiful place, the work that way put into the building, Frick's amazing collection of books reflect the sort of man he was. The paintings even include as Monet and a couple of Rembrandt's and a Renoir or two I believe, as well as at least one and I believe two Degas' not to mention countless other artists that I could not even begin to name.

If you want to visit a smaller museum that you can actually do in a day, be this is the one to go to. The only thing I wish is that my father could have seen it before he passed, he would have loved it, he did so much woodworking and he would have appreciated the craftsmanship so much, I know he would have been as moved as I was.
