The Frick Collection Review

One of my favorite places to go and escape. The first Friday of the month they do music and free entry it's a really nice touch.

First fridays are a wonderful opportunity to enjoy this amazing Museum for free.

Frick collection sound so crazy :-) but in a fact it is fantastic monumental building right at the peak of Central Park. Fantastic garden in front of and the big vindows give this space such true importance. Just passing by makes u fill like a king and never the less like a queen.

Great small museum in an urban villa with an eclectic art collection.

Amazing collection in a superb mansion on 5th Avenue, Wednesday at 2pm pay what you wish.

My favorite museum in NY, beautiful rooms and collection

Only museum in Manhattan that does not free admission to disabled veterans.. #AntiVeteran #BadManagement

The Frick Collection is an excellent collection of exceptional fine art and sculptures in a magnificent mansion on Fifth Avenue. The first floor offers many rooms and in internal garden with a covered ceiling, along with a large marble fountain and plants for resting on the beautiful seats. There is no cafe, so have your coffee somewhere beforehand. There are audio units to hang around your neck for descriptions of most pieces. A gorgeous and stress-free inexpensive way to spend a day in NYC. You will need two trips for the explanations of all the paintings. Not easy to see and hear about all paintings in one day. Highly recommended.

Would recommend as this does not violate my Christian Minecraft server rules. Keep on fricking my dude.

A pretty impressive collection in a beautiful place

It surprised me in a good way. Some of the rooms were really beautiful.

Always worth a visit. old world charm and tranquility. Art to die for.

Small interesting museum. Take a tour you will learn about Frick and the paintings..

Excellent art collection on the UES. Pay what you wish on Fridays (check the website). They also have a place to sketch around the indoor fountain. forgotten gem on museum mile.

The Frick collection is excellent! Beautiful works.

But the modern so-called "art" on display would make Frick roll over in his grave if he knew it was displayed along side.

PLEASE stop the propaganda, this is s nice museum as it is, it doesn't need an addition!!!

awesome place .you can become a member for 81 dollars a year

Nice place to stop by for an hour (or two) of immersion in fine art. Good Vermeers and Rembrandts.

Love the beautiful house on the fifth avenue and the amazing art collection that Mr Frick was able to achieve ... A little treasure by the park ... Unmissable ...

The collection is very small but has a few Turners that are worth to see. Although the building it s just amazing and specially the interior garden! It s a nice couple of hours spent!

Forget all the other museums to dive in a quiet and peaceful museum right up on 5th avenue. This museum had got beautiful paintings of Frans Hals, Rembrandt and many other great artists.

The aren't too many Guilded Age mansions you can still walk through in NY that are close to their original design and layout, but this building is one of them. The price of entry is too high given the size of the modest collection. For a few extra dollars you can visit The Metropolitan or MoMA.

The Museum doesn't allow photography of the collection, which seems odd when so many images are available through their app, website, and the 360 degree walk through views available via Google.

I love this place. A new york gem with history to it. Plenty to see here especially when there's different collection in town being displayed here. The structure itself is incredible and takes up 2 whole blocks with a library on the other end. The tour is a must if you have never been to this location. This place has a past when central park was its back yard and all country. Before any other buildings and structures even existed. A wonderful place to visit with friends or family. if you truly enjoy what new york York has to offer. Add this collection to your experience of this city. When the past meets the present. If you enjoyed the review. You know what to do . Thank you in advance for your time.

Amazing collection. The pictures are well chosen. It s a jewel in NY.
It s worth a visit or two!

Amazing art collection (paintings, pottery, sculpture, center pieces). Monet, Renoir, Vermeer, Whistler, etc.
Use audiotour or your mobile with the Frick collection website for the audiotour to truly appreciate your visit.
Don't miss La Promenade from Pierre-Auguste Renoir, hidden besides the grand staircase.
Mandatory cloakroom services.

Nice collection, nice building, nice atmosphere, still, absolutely not a must.

Definitely a great and accessible museum that doesn't overwhelm you. You won't get "museum headache".

Not a big museum by most standards, but one of the most elegant ones in NYC. Beautifully laid out and interesting selection of artwork. One of the favourite areas of the museum is the fountain courtyard. Wonderful place to just sit, relax, and listen to the water fountain.

Nice art. Nice home. Pairs of paintings reunited. One of best private collections.

Discount entry on Sunday when I was there.

Amazing small museum! Absolutely gorgeous rooms and art. I do wish you could take pictures, but it's understandable. Staff is very kind and polite as well. We went Wednesday during pay what you wish.

What a fascinating man, home and collection. The Frick is a real gem, and a treasure of New York City. Worth the ticket price, I promise. Make a day of it, you won't regret it.

Its pretty but not that big. can be seen in 2 hrs at leisure (but might not enjoy the place so much is you rush). Wednesdays afternoons you cna enter by giving any donation, even $1.

Also you can sign up for their conferences for free on the internet, but you can stay there too and see if any spot is unnused and might get lucky to get in.

The paintings are awesome and placed in amanner that contrasts them perfectly, you cna spend a long time observing them.

I went on a Sunday during the Pay What You Wish window (11 am to 1pm). The line wrapped around the corner leading up to 11 am. The Frick museum is the perfect size to walk through in a couple of hours. I loved the collection of clocks and the exhibit with van Dyck's drawings. I wish the lawn was open to the public, and I was curious what goes on upstairs. Nonetheless, a beautiful place to go to with wonderful pieces of art.

1 star is too high for the staff in this museum They had wrong information about this place and showed in there website .The terrible ticket s sale s person she said that was from our imagination The tourists were keep coming and showed her information but she didnt care just ignored Also the lady took care of us was so gross she didnt give us any solution just run away they are so rude people cant stand their bad attitude

Amazing collection, I may be in the minority but find the sculpture to be most interesting.

It s busy during Christmas season, people were waiting in lines for entry and coat check, I went in and realized right away after I checked my coat that there s no cafe inside and I need a quick bite outside, the guard was giving me a hard time for leaving the museum without my coat at 1pm, i went to the coat room but another staff said it should be ok and found me a supervisor and supervisor said it s ok for me to leave without my coat. Return in 20 minutes when I reentered, the guard at the front door was arguing with me and giving me a hard time even tho I explained that a supervisor gave me approval. He said my coat would take up the coat room space (I only have one coat). This is just very unpleasant especially on a rainy day.

This property, is mine. I did not hire this THE FRICK COLLECTION. THEY NEED TO GO OUT.

The concept of an upper east side mansion turned museum alone is intrigue enough to visit this spot.

They refuse children under 10 years old... you can t even go with a baby sleeping in a stroller.

One of the most incredible collections available for public viewing. Just remember, no children allowed under 11 years of age. The art is really that special. Every room will have you in awe. Give yourself at least 3 hours in order to take it all in. The entire mansion is a work of art.

A beautiful old mansion with many excellent paintings. Their special exhibits can be really special! I particularly like the atrium. It's near the Asia Society so go there on the same visit. THE AS has a lovely restaurant, by the way.

If you love old master art work then The Frick is a place to visit, everything from Rembrandt, Goya, Degas, Vermeer plus much more. Also, it's a beautiful building, with mold carvings and wood works etc.

I just love this museum. I hadn't been in a while, and a free night got me there. The atrium with music and sketching (special to certain nights) was comforting and fancy. Many galleries have space to move around in. MANY people were recording and/or taking photos- this is annoying to me - rules are rules. The docents weren't on their toes with this. The smaller special exhibits in small rooms were a bit of a challenge, but with patience (and number count by docents) it was do able.

What a beautiful art gallery. This is what real, thoughtful curation looks like people! If you're looking for a gallery that will such you in and take up an entire morning, go here! I went alone one morning and it was the most amazing solo date I've had in a while.

I Love it! Such beauty, elegance. This place is breath taking. Be ready to see the most beautiful sight, you will ever see..

Very nice pictures, and the staff are very helpful.

This is an outstanding museum with outstanding architecture and very outstanding artworks. Price of admission is about $22 for adults. We went on a Friday early afternoon and the museum was not crowded. You can get a self-guided audio tour machine for free and I would recommend that if you have the time. The collection spans across a number of rooms in this Mansion which was converted to an art museum. In addition upon entry, there is an auditorium where they play a short 10-minute movie about the creator of the museum and the building as well as the artwork. Took about 1 hour to walk at a slow pace to see all of the paintings and some of the sculptures. High quality attraction very high quality paintings and sculptures. Very highly recommended if you like art, appreciate architecture, and have some time in this area. Very highly recommended!

This collection is not as well known as bigger Museums in New York. Being very close to the Met at the same time makes it more visible, but also easily overlooked in favour of one of the most famous museums in the world, alas. The building itself is of rare beauty, overlooking Centeal Park. It houses the private collection of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick. I have to say, controversial of a figure as he was in his business life, the man simply had impeccable taste in art. There are paintings by so many masters, of so many ages, it makes your head spin. From Cimabue to Bronzino, from Titian to Rembrandt, from Fragonard to Monet, from Veronese to Holbein, and then Vermeer, Degas, Manet, Goya, El Greco, Velazquez, Murillo, Van Dyck... It is a trove of true masterpieces. The ticket price is a bit steep at 22$ (there are reductions for students and an annual membership is available), but I can assure you they will be well spent. It's closed on Mondays. There is no photography allowed, but you can buy postcards and prints of your favourites in the gift shop.

Great collection of art in a beautiful setting. Go on a Wednesday between 2-6pm for pay what you can. It is definitely a worthwhile visit when in new york

Beautiful classical art exhibit in the beautifully maintained former Frick mansion. Well worth a couple of hours of your time in NYC!

My favorite museum in New York. It is worth the detour.

Housed inside a french style mansion once owned by magnate Henry clay frick, this expensive museum showcases masterpieces from the Renaissance to the end of 19th century.

The building is so beautiful, and the paintings and art are just astonishing, I recommend to go sundays morning, or the special fridays with concerts in the main hall .
Also it has long hours on fridays for free also on sundays pay as you with, the Vemeer plus other dutch painters is an amazing collection (enjoy the girl with the pearl earrings) and the breathtaking W. Turners sea storms landscapes (my fav painter btw).

Very nice collection well done little dark in some of the rooms well worth the time

Wonderful collection of installations. This location is set to close in a couple of months (everything transferring to the MET for several years). However, it just won't be the same experience. Check it out before you miss your chance!

Where do I begin to describe the glorious #frickcollectionmuseum from the stunning blue #boucher room to the stunning #fragonard paintings from #madamedubarry or the #elgreco flanked by #hansholbein #thomasmoore and #thomascromwell. I always consider it an honor and blessing to be able to see art anywhere but the #frickcollection really blew me away. What a magnificent home it must have been and we are so privileged to enjoy it. #bucketlist

I'm not sure I can put into words how impressive this collection is. Numerous times during my too-brief two hour visit I was actually moved to tears by the grandeur and scope of this collection, by the extraordinary setting and how well integrated all aspects of the furnishings are. The practical stuff: The docents are knowledgeable and genuinely in awe of the collection. The audioguides actually work well and the commentators provide a wealth of wonderful information. (This is too rarely the case in even the best galleries in Paris, London, Madrid, Moscow, and, yes, NYC. All museums should contract with this vendor!) The films are fine, though I would have preferred an introductory film at start of the collection. But the element of surprise is also nice. I knew very little about the Frick collection, and one of the first paintings you see, almost casually hung in an entryway is by an Italian master ...a name any first year art student knows. Wham. That gets your attention! And it just keeps getting better. The collection does not purport to cover "modern art" so the Degas, Monet, and Manet were a surprise. But the El Grecos, Tintorettos, Titians, Rembrandts, etc., are as rich an immersion into the masters as can be imagined in one small collection. Add to that Turner, Whistler, Sullivan, etc., and you see how staggering this "one man's collection" is. Though my primary interest is paintings, the commentary provided by the audioguide heightened my appreciation for each room's furnishings, wall coverings, carpets, and architectural design features. What a perfect demonstration of how all elements can harmonize to create a magical synergy. I can't wait to return on my next visit to NYC. And I'll double my allotted time!

Wow...who knew this collection existed. Turners, Constables, Rembrandts, Van Dycks, Hals, Whistler, Gainsborough...and more!

Ahhh this beautiful mansion filled with great works of art Go!

A real gem and less daunting than the big name museums. I recommend viewing the introductory video on the Frick website to get a good overview of this special collection and visiting exhibits.

Amazing art and decorative arts. One of my favorite museums in NYC. If you've never been, GO NOW. Once upon a time, I was a teacher's aide for a course on the History of Interiors at the NY School of Interior Design. We took our students to the Frick (most for the first time) and it rated as one of their favorite activities of the semester. You will LOVE it.

All art is wonderful. This place is a piece of art & history itself. 1st Friday of each month is for free.

My second favorite American museum. Take your time and get the back story on the paintings, there are some incredible treasures and reunions of separated paintings and historical figures! Don't miss the gift shop!!

Intimate, world renowned art, worth the trip, bathroom line an only one with three stalls.

Beautiful collection. Semi small for the donation price but worth it to see once.

This is museum is great it carries of whole bunch of art. I went here for a class trip it is fancy.I wouldn't mind living here with everything they have. There is a courtyard that is absolutely stunning. When you get to the center there is a wonderful water fountain that has water comes out from different areas. Overall this place is like a big house of art.

Housed inside a french style mansion. Once owned by Magnate Henry Clay Frick. This expensive museum showcases masterpieces from the Renaissance to the end of 19th century. If you are interested in history must visit this.

Best art museum I ve been to while I lived in NY, counting MoMa, Guggenheim, Neue, Metbreuer and PS1. It distinguishes itself by being an immersive experience due to the beautiful setting of the old Henry Clay Frick Mansion. On Wednesday they have a pay what you want after 2 PM. I would highly recommend all visitors (and locals) to go here at least once. I would even go so far as to recommend you prioritize going here. The art itself is of a masterful quality, albeit not that diverse. It is centered around mostly the Romantic Period and has the widest collection of Bronze statues I have seen.

Really a beautiful home and museum where the details are just outstanding. The furniture is as impressive as the art.

Wonderful collections of art. Amazed by the ceramic art from Italy and French. The Frick has the most beautiful room which is Fragonard Room where there are painted wall panels by Auguste Decour.

The clock was an amazing thing to look at. A thing of beauty. I have to go back again.

Wandering the collection and resting in the courtyard are a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a humid summer day.

Nice collection with few works of greatest painters Rubens, EL Greco and others. Nice place to spend few hours.

If you appreciate fine art, then this is for you. Make sure it's on your list of tour stops.

This is a small museum with some impressive permanent pieces in its collection. It's a nice glimpse into New York's gilded era.

When you visit the Frick mansion, you get to see how the real rich people lived. Mr. Frick turned his private home (a mansion which takes up a whole block!) into a museum filled with art. These artworks are worth millions and some have been around for a hundred years! The Frick also has it s own theater. You will be in awe as you walk through the grounds. It s stunning and jaw dropping that this was all owned by one man. What a contribution to the arts!

Really impressive collection worth going in New York city if not on your first visit, second time around. Spend full day visiting all four museums, Met, Guggenheim, Neue and Frick all on one avenue and close by.

Excellent collection. Enjoyed VanDyck exhibition.
