Description
Frick Collection tickets open the doors of a museum on Fifth Avenue that has been open since 1935. Several years of renovation work ended with its reopening to the public.
Henry Clay Frick founded the collection, which ranks among the finest of its kind for European painting, sculpture and decorative objects. Bellini, Fragonard, Rembrandt and Vermeer are among the famous names. The museum shows them in a new way: the best-known masterworks hang in restored first-floor galleries, while smaller paintings, sculptures and decorative objects fill the newly opened second floor.
- Entry to the museum and its galleries
- Paintings and objects spanning the Renaissance through the 1800s
- The Garden Court, where photos are allowed
A few house rules apply. The museum admits children only from age 10. To protect the art, the galleries are a no-photo zone, though cameras are welcome in the Garden Court and the other areas outside the galleries. Bottles and liquids stay out of the galleries unless needed for medical reasons, and bulky things like garment bags or camera poles go to the coat check.
