One of New York City’s most exquisite museums, the Frick Collection, has reopened following a four-year, more than $200 million renovation. The meticulous restoration of the ornate mansion housing masterpieces is a masterpiece itself.
Internationally recognized as a premier museum and research center, the Frick is known for its distinguished Old Master paintings and outstanding examples of European sculpture and decorative arts.
The collection originated with Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919), who bequeathed his home, paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts to the public for their enjoyment. The institution’s holdings — which encompass master works from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century— have grown over the decades, more than doubling in size since the opening of the museum in 1935. A critical component of the institution is the Frick Art Research Library, recognized as one of the world’s top art history research centers
