The Frick Collection at 1 E 70th Street New York City is a precious jewel in the crown of must see historic and artistic sites.
Coming off a major renovation, the former home of Henry Clay Frick houses jaw dropping art works that are sure to elevate one’s appreciation of the Old Masters. At the outset, Frick’s plan was to create a museum of his Gilded Age home so all could enjoy the astounding artworks he amassed. Here, the Old Masters shine. The talent displayed is unequaled. The portraits practically speak from the walls. Examples of European excellence bound.
The renovation of the building has opened the heretofore closed second floor, revealing more display areas, a cafe and gift shop.
Photography is not permitted in the galleries, however, all the works are posted on the website. www.frick.org
