Reviews of The Frick Collection (Museum)

Anders Garbom Backe

Lovely little mansion with charming exhibition. It is one of the places where the audio guide is actually great - and it's free, so make sure to grab one! My favorite rooms were the big room with the paintings and the small blue room with baby figures as adults. I got so fascinated that I spent more time than anticipated, so I actually didn't get to see everything...

Akhil Nair

The frick collection is personal.museum . If you enjoy collections of a steel baron and have a soft spot for 17th century art and bourgeois pretence this place can definitely provide you with it. The German clocks specifically are masterpieces in their own right.

Fred Miller

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.

Mary Farmer

It's a wonderful small classy art museum. The mansion is gorgeous too. We come every other year.

My favorite place to relax and make believe I was from that period...ha

Lazaros Samlidis

I enjoyed the visit. It's mostly French art and French tourists love to visit and I went with a friend from Paris. I recommend this museum if that's your interest or if you are looking for a place you haven't visited before but I would visit one of the larger museums if I had a choice. They provide at request audio devices for free which I liked. It's a nice walk inside this former mansion. They have a few couches that you are permitted to sit on which gives you the feeling of how it might have actually felt like when it was a house and not a museum. You are only allowed to visit the first floor. No pictures allowed expect for the court yard. We went early on a Saturday and the crowd wasn't too bad but it was raining and by the time we left there was a line to get inside.

Alex K.

A fabulous collection with free audio. $22 entry per adult. Good multiple short talks available from knowledgeable staff. The only thing I was disappointed by is that apart from the interior garden you are not allowed to take photographs. The Collection is not overwhelming like it is at the MIT but there is still plenty to look at for a good two to three hours in this place including some absolutely marvellous works by Rembrandt, Turner, De Goya and so many others famous ones also Vermeer.

S Zaman

Pretty spectacular collection of early modern and some older stuff. Come for the Vermeer and Rembrandt, stay for the gorgeous garden and touring the opulent mansion converted into a museum. I went on Friday when it was free and got there at 6. The line was around the block but it moved relatively quickly and I didn't feel crowded when i was inside.

Darcy Gerbarg

The Frick has long been one of the very best museum collections in New York. The Museum is a quiet place of refuge. The current inclusion of the unimpressive artworks by a contemporary artist speaks only of poor judgement and a pandering to a misguided trend. The contemporary works set up in arbitrary places around the museum, even interfering with views of the Frick's own works, in no way create any 'dialogue' or visual enjoyment. No one would ever purchase such unimpressive things for the Frick collection so they should not be shown there. Trying to be trendy doesn't fit.

minLa ibizA

one of the best museum in the mile !

Judy Kulsum

So many nice exhibits of old testament artifacts and much more

Luis Jose Gil

Excellent collection of classic European paintings, sculptures and clocks. There are some gems of great artists, such as Velázquez and El Greco.

Mel J

Walking around the museum, the Frick house, is an enchanting experience. The opulence highlights the beauty of the art pieces, from paintings and sculptures. Inside is an open garden area with fountain which is beautiful. On the first Friday of the month they host a special evening with free entry and talks on the history of the place and certain art pieces.

Pat Splendore

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

Walter Bettens

I just love this museum. The collection is first class and can be savoured in a relaxing atmosphere. Don't miss the Rembrandts and Vermeers.

Stumbled across this museum on a Wednesday afternoon while making a random exit from Central Park. And to my luck, Wednesday’s 2-6 PM are pay what you wish! Since I hadn’t heard of this place before, I would probably have not paid 22$ standard ticket. I was in NYC for just 4 days and this being the last day, I had to tick an art museum off my list. It’s a private collection of Henry Clay Frick in his house now converted in a museum. The free audio guide is very helpful and the collection is a good mix to keep you intrigued. You’re not allowed to click photos inside, except a small garden area. They also run a small movie to give the history etc. of the place. Visit if you’re in the area, 2-3 hours could be enough if you go slow and spend time on each piece.

Marina Tolchinsky

Every Wednesday 2-6pm you can visit the museum just for free/donation. It's a very nice and small museum which you can enjoy without feeling tired in 1.5-2 hours. I really like the collection of paintings, China, furniture and sculptures. There is also a new installation of modern art in each room which to my opinion doesn't match the conception of museum at all and doesn't belong there at all.

Lee Boyle

Amazing place to spend your the environment is very calm and positive . And all things were properly placed. Also good management and nice staff. The place is very neat and and clean and their collection was amazing. I like to visits this museum to see unique things .

Steve Nelson

Small collection, but big names in art

Marco Barbesta

Glad to finally have made my first visit at the Frick ever. Great setting for beautiful art, the Frick is surprisingly subdued. Attentive security staff keep their ears open and may help occasionally if you wonder about the surroundings. Specially recommended for a visit with friends who share your interest.

Margarita Shelankova

There are dozens of outstanding, marvelous pieces of art by world renowned masters in this gorgeous, serene mansion located in the heart of Manhattan. A must visit by every art lover.

New Yorker

I stopped by with a friend on a first Friday of the month. We got arrived there close to 7pm, but there was a line around the block. We did wait for about 25mins but the line moved quickly. Thank goodness it wasn't a hot summer night. The 2nd floor was closed but the paints and all the art were just wonderful. As expected, it was crowded but mostly well behaved crowd. At the center garden, there was a free drawing event going on where anyone can participate. They were also giving out free water (lemon and watermelon flavor) and some crackers. Enjoyed it very much. OH no photos allowed inside.

A former residence turned into a gallery showcasing an amazing collection of old masters, sculptures and decorative arts by the Frick family. It's truly a hidden gem in a city with many museums. Each room and piece of work is breathtaking. My first visit happen to be to view two specific decorative art pieces to write a historical object report. I plan to go back again and again whenever I can especially to attend their Drawing Programs and Concerts! If you plan to visit The Frick Collection, make sure you check the website for visitor info. Quick note: no children under 10, no photos (only allowed in the Garden Court), free coat check, no dining options, no suitcases allowed, audio guides available, no on-site parking (but it's a short walk from The Met) ** They have pay-what-you-wish on Wednesdays and ** First Friday of the month is Free Hope this helps you explore the arts!! xoxo

Odelia Mordechai

Very beautiful museum. Doesn’t take long time to see The whole place, about an hour. When u show student card or email address u get 50% off.

Meredith Maher

The Frick was very pretty. If you like historic gilded age buildings, this is the perfect spot for you. They have some beautiful famous work in there. Definitely would go back.

Henning Dickten

Quiet expensive but nice to be there

Brian Overman

Wonderful collection of 19th century paintings. Beautiful mansion.

Tracy Abihanna

Amazing but small display. Pictures are only allowed in the main hall (picture)

Jack Parrott

Beautiful building and good collection. Not too crowded either.

Dian Yustisiana

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.

Chana Greene

Really recommend visiting this museum. It was originally the home of the Frick family, built from 1912-14. Now, the beautifully designed interiors of the house create a stunning background to view the art collection. The permanent collection includes a large portion of portraits, but also has a variety of statues, other paintings, and some beautiful furniture. Be sure to get the audio. guide (it's included in your ticket) or download the app on your phone to learn more about the art pieces. There's not a lot in the way of descriptions about all of the art, so the audio tour is really helpful. It took me about 2 hours (maybe a little less) to go through the whole museum, but it could be done faster.

Elaine Denton

Beautiful art collection in a beautiful mansion across the street from Central Park. Not too crowded.

Beatrice Bersani

If the Met is just a little overwhelming for you just come to the Frick Collection for great art in beautiful surroundings.

배미정

every wensday 2~5h free of charge

Katie Komer

Highly recommend an afternoon at The Frick. Beautiful collection in an equally, at times moreso, beautiful setting. Hard to believe this was a private home! There is an age restriction so don't bring your kiddos under 10. That seemed silly to me at first but once we got into the rooms, I totally understood why.....visitors walk up to the displays, furniture, and art with no barriers. Being that close makes it fascinating to imagine living here in the early 1900s. Do not miss this gem!

Suzanne Rice

Visited in a weekend with friends. This is a really beautiful Gilded Age mansion filled with an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures and furniture from multiple periods. A bit expensive at $25 per ticket, but a good way to spend an hour or two. The atrium, with plants, a fountain and a skylight is especially peaceful. It's right across from Central Park, so this would definitely be a great idea for a date.

Elizabeth Valentin

This great place to go with family and friends. Enjoy the history

Chris O.

Wonderful collection in a beautiful building. So glad we stopped in and spent the day admiring such a beautiful of art.

Sally Mayhill

Wonderful! BUT! Huge problem that the story of the Frick family in the Frick Museum/former home was presented NOWHERE. Here we are in the triumphant final home of Henry Frick and we don’t know who he is, how he rose to such financial and lofty positions, who his wife was, his children.... um you’re missing the other half of the story. We get a full dissertation on the nuances of the painting of a Renoir hand but not two words about the man who and how he accumulated this fine body of work. Partial pleasure.

Josephine Elworthy

Small, beautiful museum housed in a beautiful 5th Ave mansion.

Bruce Goerlich

Makes one feel serene

Shawn McDermott

Arriving at The Frick collection wasn't to hard. Just make sure you go to the right entrance. Inside they have a coat check at the entrance which is great. You also have an option for a video guide. No photos are allowed except in the fountain area which is awesome imagine being in a mansion with nice collections of art in historical rooms!

Etienne Culler

Just the right size to take in and appreciate without getting cross-eyed. Absolutely superb collection of very special pieces.

S Wun

Went for “Pay as you wish” Wednesday admission. 2-6pm. Includes audio guide. No photos allowed inside. There’s also a theatre with 2 videos at 30min intervals. Extensive paintings, furniture and other art pieces.

Crystal W

Beautiful museum. Pay as you wish Wednesday afternoons 2-5pm.

Valerie Loving

Lovely museum, wonderful paintings from Victorian era and before!

HelloLilKitty1

Exquisite collection of paintings, furniture and relics. The central courtyard is tranquil enough for you to want to read or have a picnic. Be aware there's no food allowed in the museum. This includes beverages of any sort. The garden courtyard is also the only place where you can touch things and take photographs. These rules are strictly enforced.

Nour Idriss

Beautiful museum. Great history and collection. The interior and exterior architecture of the building alone is captivating. The best thing about it is that it is relatively small with less people around which allows you to truly appreciate the art and the ambiance.

Erica Teichert

Beautiful museum with some classic European art that will never be loaned out. The architecture of the home adds to the experience. Free audio tours, and tickets are good for two days. One of my favorite NYC museums.

Quentin Parsons

Wonderful collection and great attentive staff. Displays of European art world class

Vanessa Gomez

Great collection of art and artist!

Josh Bottfeld

This place is incredibly large. It's hard to imagine that Frick Family actually live the way. They are in the process of opening up the second floor so you might have a better idea of how they lived. The artwork in The Frick museum is beyond amazing. Art pieces in the museum that cost over a million dollars in 1917. It definitely is a must see. If you're a little short on money, Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. is pay-what-you-wish.

Rania Mirza and sisters Mirza

Love this place. I live in NJ but make the trip for my kids. Its great for them to learn especially when they see other kids there doing the same things. I go Sunday mornings between 10 and 11 am since that when its free admission.

Peach Twentyfifth

Amazing collection of art on a beautiful setting. Photography is not allowed inside; it is only allowed in the gardens.

S Patel

Nikki Steel

excellent collection of art collected by Frick. well worth a visit . great audio that gives highlights of all paintings. expect yo spend up to 3 hours there.

Jeff Manning

Really nice exhibits, free audio tours. Pay what you want on Wednesday afternoons. Highly recommend, especially good on a rainy day.

James Fackrell

Visit this place As it’s one of the last of 5th. Avenues gilded age homes open to the public!! Late nights and public happenings Amazing art collection The Frick is slated to open the second home of this Classic and beautiful home!! It’s just as it was in 1914 Worth the price!!

Lucais Horsley

Our two hour visit of the art collection located in several rooms on the ground floor of the Frick mansion went by quite quickly. Admission fee ($17 seniors) included a most helpful audioguide with brief commentaries on every numbered object on view. The audio guide and the brochure with a layout of the ground floor rooms were available in several languages (English, French, German, Chinese, Korean). There wasn't a line-up at the door on my Sunday morning visit.

Danielle Roberts

Excellent collection of art in a beautiful Gilded Age home. Their special exhibits we're lovely, but the permanent collection is worth it alone. There is a gorgeous room paneled with Fragonard murals that especially feels like you've stepped back in time. It was wonderful to see the Polish Rider up close as well. Sadly, no pictures allowed except in the garden court.

Cleber Galvao-Penick

Beautiful house. Too bad you can't go upstairs. Very well preserved.

Sean Q

Enjoyed using the free audio guide to hear about most of the exhibits. Very elaborately designed interior and indoor pool to sit.

Nikita Jiandani

I wish I got more time here. All the paintings and artwork were beautiful. The porcelain from China was gorgeous too! Beautiful furniture and the indoor garden is really relaxing too! Will definitely go back here :)

Tim Ward

Beautiful building with masterpieces hung every few metres. Highly recommend going on Wednesday when it is pay what you wish

Carl Ward

Fantastic intimate museum with world class art from mostly European masters. Amazing that the public can get close to the priceless treasurers. Security is abundant to remind you if you pose a risk. Audio handsets add much to the experience and are part of the admissions price. Most do not realize this thinking it’s an incremental expense only to miss out. Plan for 2-3 hours to really appreciate what the Frick has to offer.

Bladimir Barrera

If you like antiques, and history, this is the place for you. It's all beautiful and it's just going to make you wanna go back in time. A good spot to visit when in NY. :)

Tim McCord

Gorgeous place. My favorite museum in the Upper East Side. The new pottery exhibition is not for me (quite abstract, more of a focus on form than anything) and in my opinion, does not really complement the original galleries. Regardless, a membership here is well worth it. Access to the courtyard alone is tremendous. Further, the collection is undergoing an expansion, so there is more to come soon. Personally, I am quite excited for the new spaces that they plan on opening to the public.

Sonja S

No pictures to be taken anywhere except for the inner yard with fountain. Moderately friendly staff. Interesting, not too overwhelmingly big collection with great highlights (Velazquez, Veronese, Fragonard,...) and a great enamel and Faience collection. Worth the visit!

angels mart

Is one of my favourite museums in Manhattan! Can be visited in an hour.

George Rockel

Surprising collection for a private museum. The home is beautiful as welk.

Jesse Gray

There were so many interesting pieces of art to here. I highly recommend a visit!

Linda Nelson

Loved in NYC for 15 years and this was my first trip. Small intimate, but amazing collection of iconic art spanning generations.

Marysole Soluven

Honestly...so incredibly breathtaking. I was amazed by this experience and recommend any and everyone take a visit. I definitely can't get enough of it myself. Immaculate!

Andrew Campbell Nelson

10/10 would recommend, especially during the pay-as-you-wish times, which happened for us on a Wednesday after 2pm. Paid $5 for this beautiful space!

Vincent Rigdon

Great selection of great art.

Ty Nie

the audiotour is free and the pieces are amazingly well preserved.

Mimi Fernandez

It’s a beautiful residence that won’t allow you to take pictures. For the steep price of $22 without tax it will be nice to allow pictures in the interior of the residence. A few beautiful pieces of art but the rudeness of the staff gives a lot away. There’s plenty of room for improvement.

Sude K

an excellent collection of art. it’s quiet inside and you’re not allowed to go in large groups, but its good to visit on your own or with a few people. some of the best paintings you’ll ever see are in here, and it’s located right near the Met so you can visit both places in one day!

ΕΥΤΥΧΙΑ ΤΣΑΚΟΥ

What an amazing place! Everything is perfectly organized. There are so many great pieces of art! There was a movie explaining the history of the place and the collection and we realized what a gifted person Mr. Frick was and how his collection was respected and promoted in the best possible way. It's a must see!!

Paul Coward

Beautiful architecture and an even better collection!

Richard Nerland

A unique museum experience with high quality audio guides.

B

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!

Jude Leo

Excellent collection featuring Whistler, Vermeer, Greco, Turner, Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Stewart, among many artists spanning 3 centuries or so.

Nancy Smith

An unexpected jewel of a stunning private collection of artwork housed in what used to be the Frick family residence. The artwork: Rembrandt, Tintoretto, Vermeer... the list goes on and on. Large, unique and gorgeous artwork. The residence: A beautiful and elegant house located next to Central Park complete with a garden, grand staircase, and enclosed portico. (Photos of artwork not allowed.) A must-see in NYC!!

Ricardo Aguilar

The exhibition is ok but you cannot take pictures and the shop store is a little bit expensive

Christopher L Cloud

Awesome Experience Every Time , Highly Recommend.... 5 Stars

Catherine Wilson

Best museum in NYC - serene mansion on Museum Row (5th Avenue).

Sam dela Cruz

One of my fave musuems. I love the architecture of this Mansion on the upper east side. The art here is just phenomenal. Great hits from different periods. If I were rich, I would want a house like this!

Katherine Kareck

Wonderful little place. This museum has paintings by Rembrandt, Whistler and Goya, just to name a few. Much less crowded that The Met. The museum is actually in a beautiful old home. If you would like to get away from the crowds and see some great art work, check it out.

Louise Belcourt

Loved the Frick collection and beautiful building. Enjoyed staying back on Wednesday to try my hand at sketching some of the artwork. Take the free audio players as they provide very useful content on the collection.

Brian Lynch

Excellent collection of art lots of Rembrandt also in old mansion with lots of. Furniture French mainly loved it

Charles Naut

Nicely curated collection of art housed in Frick's former residence. The pieces are interesting by themselves but seeing them in the context of the different rooms is what makes it unique compared to your typical art museum.

Koichi Ai

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

David Tee

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.

Jimin Park

Personally, this antique museum is my favorite one in nyc. Although this place is smaller than other well-known museum, the atmosphere is incompatible. It is different at each room according to masterpieces. What I like the most is there is no border between viewers and art works. Also, you can see various of antique furniture and decorations at each room. So classic and lovely museum.

Batia S

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

Renee Kim

Amazing art collection. Feel like I am in Paris.

Joshua Fagan

One of the biggest surprises in this city for me. Don't miss this relatively small but fascinating collection of art on museum roe. There's such a wide variety, from El Greco to three Rembrandts. Or you could be like me and just stare at the Turners all day. Whatever way you want to explore, you can. Just don't take pictures- it's not allowed.

Tami Yeasmin

Great museum. Its a bit small but love their arts and the architecture of the building is amazing. And they got this really nice garden around the building. Must visit place

Lizzy Chamberlain

I got in trouble for holding my jacket and touching one of the display labels. The place was very snooty, even for an art gallery. Go to the Morgan museum instead

Sylvain Cappell

Collection of masterpieces in setting of a palatial residence. Not to be missed by visitors to NY.

Alexia Ashford

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.

magdy angel

This place holds some of the world's most beautiful photos, only problem I have with them is that no pictures are allowed anywhere in rooms containing photos

Teconz

The only exciting thing is the fountain. This is so boring. I mean what do you expect from a museum?

Olivier Swain

The collection is carefully presented in a beautiful and tranquil setting. It feels like stepping out of time for an hour or two. There are lots of spectacular paintings by Old Masters, some of which you might not expect to see here (Holbein’s portrait of Thomas More, for example). Adult admission is $22, which is about the market rate for the major collections in the US.

Mac A

This museum was pretty awesome. I think it’s really neat how it’s set in Henry Frick’s home, which happens to be one of the last gilded age homes remaining in NYC. The architecture of the place is incredible, featuring lots of intricate details. As far as the art collection goes, it’s definitely worth seeing. There are a lot of relevant religious paintings, as well as a few amazing landscape paintings. They also have the Rembrandt, which I believe was the first self-portrait (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not an art expert). The staff does a good job of keeping everyone safe, and moving around without issue. Overall, a great place for a date night, or some alone time for deep thought (and anything in between!). I should have gotten a picture from outside the building, because it’s a really neat house.

Clément Bénac

It was incredibly free of people ! We had almost the museum for 10 people only. It was so quiet. It felt totally different to see so much paintings at someone's living room instead of within a museum.

Jack Dunstan

Phenomenal collection in a former private residence. A peek into the 19th century’s 1%ers.

Silvia Chiodo

Amazing artworks, rich collection and fascinating building. I loved it. Plus on Wednesdays from 2-6pm you pay as much as you want for the admission! Normally it’s a bit pricey.

joanna yunatanov

It’s gorgeous there, they don’t allow photos... but after hearing that the house has been remodeled so many times... makes me feel like I’m not walking through history anymore

Timothy Chin

Very classy, elegant, and poised collection! Went on Wednesday, which happens to be a "pay what you wish" day (2-6 pm). Every piece being showcased had a purpose, and is very delicate at first glance. Upon gazing for sometime, one can find themselves lost in the beauty, the style, and the details. I really enjoyed the limited Washington showcase! Loved how you could follow a timeline of the sculpture! and how it came to be! Definitely would come back again! A fine establishment to say the least!

Gene Sengstock

A wonderful home filled with fabulous art, to be appreciated as the collector did. One of our favorite spots in NY. And it's a member of NARM! Don't miss it.

Drew Unsworth

Wow.. another must do. Not too crowded but get up close and personal with some classic paintings

Danielle MacDonald

Def a fan of Vermeer. The Whistlers on display presently are instructive.

Peter Falco

Great selection of changing exhibitions and a solid curated permanent pieces of art. Only complaint is that the Museum store closes early (they said "We're closing, and will reopen tomorrow" then shut the door in my face). I didn't think the times would be different from the museum's closing time.

Eduardo Penna

Small but fantastic museum, with a top notch collection of mostly European art. The house (more like a mansion) itself is also gorgeous, just as interesting as the art collection. The only negatives are the prohibition on taking pictures on most of the house (everywhere except the inner patio), and the lack of plaques giving info on the exposed art.

Thunder Birb

Astounding. The tickets are $22 on Sundays but I would pay $50 for the experience. You must go to this if you fancy art museums. Takes about 2 hours to see everything, but I would suggest 5-6 hours if you really want to take everything in. The furniture, metalwork, even the architecture serves as a piece which deserves attention and admiration. I would love to be here by myself if I could. Phenomenal. Check out my Twitch Channel: Thunder_Birb

Nancy K

The Frick is so much more than a big house turned into an art museum. The house itself is a work of art. Gorgeous wood doors with original fixtures, artistic landscaping in the atrium that is regularly turned to reflect the seasons, outside gardens with intricate stone pathways, water and wall gardens, ... This museum is close to the MET, but it’s a destination unto itself. Children under 10 years are not allowed because many antiquities are within an arms reach, as you move about the house. Try the restaurant Le Charlot and/or the bakery Laduree for delicious eats and drinks nearby. The attached picture is an example of the gorgeous entryways of townhouses that line 70th St. as you walk to the museum.

Julius Santise

A little pricey ($22) but well worth it if you like European paintings and decorative art.

Eddi Haskell

We loved this museum. It is intimate and approachable -- and holds its important art and decorative collections in an intelligent manner. This is how the wealthiest families in New York lived 150 years ago during the gilded age, and lucky for us, the Frick Collection and Mansion are available for our viewing.

Yulia

My favorite museum in the city! Always beautiful!

Nick Armstrong

For its location - NYC UES - it's way too provincial. The staff is there to keep order, not to be instructive. They need better training. The terrible lighting makes viewing the Moroni exhibit, which should be magical, virtually impossible. Someone should let them know that "Mr. Frick" died a long time ago.... Can't recommend.

Katherina Sanderson

Free Friday was great. Small museum but very nice and with music on the free day! Excited for them to move into the Breuer

Al Bove

Beautiful collection but they need to permit flashless photography..

Delbert Mauery

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

Fabienne ZONGO

Really attractif you have to visit before they shutdow for restoretion. I loved

Ian Moulton

Some of the best paintings in the world. Satisfying that you end up seeing every piece in the place. Stunning classic home. Cool antique clocks to boot.

Bartholomé Girard

Really? 22 dollars to get into this small museum that has probably about 40 paintings - and almost none of them truly interesting? Go to the Met or travel the world to see European masterpieces.

Suzanne Vlamis

One of the most unique buildings and collections in New York. Rare as it is one of the very few original Fifth Avenue residences remaining. Appreciate the family keeping it in the Family and ultimately sharing it as an art and institution with a grand garden.

Curtis Schuman

This is a diamond of a place. If into the arts, it is a must see. Beautiful old mansion well restored. First Friday was fabulous.

RAM IMAGERY

One of my favorite museums in NYC. You truly don't feel in NY. The lighting on the art is pure perfection. The ambience is unique. The energy authentic & the decor breathtaking. This is what a museum should look like. Worth every penny. No pictures allowed sadly.

Murilo Silva

This place is a jewel at 5th Av. It makes you feel like visiting a fancy mansion full of artworks. They also offer paper and many options of pencils so you can explore your own artistic skills. Forget about the rude security looking to you like angry dogs. They are there every time taking care, but all the staff is very nice and gentile to make you feel relaxed and enjoy the visit as most as you can. I strongly recommend a visit, not only because the nice collection comprising names like Renoir and Rembrandt but also because of the amazing environment they prepare to the visitors

Michael Bent

The house and art is in immaculate shape. Tickets are inclusive of coat check and audio guide. The architecture is incredible. When I visited a few rooms were closed which is disappointing. I also wish we could have seen the second floor. Renovations are underway for an extension which is very exciting. Over all, it's an amazing experience and way to spend time intimately with some lesser known pieces by master artists.

Terence O'Rourke

My favorite museum in Manhattan. Quiet, respectful patrons, smiling staff, and some of the greatest paintings in the world. Fantastic exhibit of Moroni portraits there now.

Avi Moskovitz

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

Theotis Callender

We had a wonderful doyen who told us all about Edmund de Waal and his wonderful ceramics. The museum is a treasure. It was good just to be there. Wednesday afternoon is "pay what you feel."

Joel Stegner

One of my favorite NYC museums. Always has exhibits of interest.

Bruce Yelton

What a strange and interesting place. Walking in reminded me of nothing more than entering a pricey mausoleum. The effect is reinforced by the coldness of the stone walls and the dark wood decor. It was a building constructed to impress and intimidate but not to be inviting. The art contained in the house is another matter. The Turner painting of Fishing Boats Entering Calais, the Stuart Washington portrait, St. Francis in the Wilderness, and the Progress of Love were among my favorites. This is a manageable day visit than the Metropolitan and provides a perspective not only of the art exhibited by how the "Robber Barons" lived. You can almost feel the ghosts of Johnstown hovering in the corners.

No where else in the world can you find a collection like this. Nearly impossible to duplicate. Perfect 2 hourish visit.

Attended first Friday at The Frick Collection (free on first Friday of every month 6.00 - 8.00 PM) there are special events there such as gallery talking, music appreciation, skating in the court yard with live music. Recommend to go on the first Friday unless you need to pay $22 per pax.

Possibly the smallest major art museum in NYC with outstanding collection of paintings in the home of the H. C. Frick.

David Trahan

Such a lovely experience each and every time. Step back in time and get an extraordinary survey of Renaissance through 19th century art. Best museum app, too.

Paula C

Incredibly interesting tours. An awesome way to spend the day.

Hakan ZIRH

One page of history, very impressive.

Madelina Nieves

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

Jodilyn Owen

One of my favorite American museums. Keep an eye out for couples reunited and mortal enemies stuck starting at each other en perpetuity...Delish! The outdoor gardens are allegedly not ever opened for visitors which is too sad but the indoor courtyard is lovely to sit in.

Adriaan Jacquet

Very nice place if you want to look and learn aboit art. You're basically walking trough frick's house.

CAROLINA GONZALEZ GOMEZ

The house itself is beautiful but more importantly, it houses an incredible art collection. You shouldn't miss it. Wednesday afternoon (2 to 6) pay as you wish.

Cynthia Wang

Beautiful collection. Very exciting to see Whistler, Corot, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Fragonard (a whole room!), and more. Especially excited about Whistler. There was even a Renoir in its own little nook-- which was a delightful surprise. Don't miss the Frick Collection!

Suzette Dawson

The concentration of so many great paintings in one place is stunning! An excellent choice for visitors with limited time although it will still take most of the day to see everything. Fair warning; disappointed reviewers have noted strict guards so be prepared to check everything into the coat room (including your camera), do not bring young children with you and check the visitor guidelines on the website for other restrictions that you may encounter. My visit was thoroughly enjoyable but too brief. I plan to go back as soon as I can return to NYC.

Domenic Santaguida

A must visit when in NYC. One of NYC's best Art Galleries.

Linnea Taglia

Amazing home turned into a museum. Very unique and beautiful

edmowl

A fine collection of some of the world's most important art

Peter Reynolds

Fabulous! Amazing triptych-like arrangement of Thomas Cromwell looking cross at Thomas Moore with St Jerome in-between. First class gallery in a wonderful setting. Diligent and kind team assisting. Loved it!

Juan Lopez

Amazing art collection in a mansion turned museum. The porcelain, books, paintings, and decor all evoke an era long gone but present even in the room. Just walking into the West Gallery makes you feel like you traveled back 100 year.

Gene Neyer

Great small museum. Wonderful place to spend a couple of hours.
