It is an easy way to see a part of NYC history and 'live' with the some of the masterpieces as its habitants once did. Charming. Excellent audio guide. Sunday AM from 11 to 1 is 'pay what you wish' time...go early as there is always a line. Be sure to watch the film about the Frick in the drawing... More

Go visit this wonderful house museum on Fifth Avenue, it's like walking into another world, the world of the robber barons and all their spoils and art. The place is so serene, it's almost like meditation, the collection amazing, Mr Frick did have very good taste in art.

When all the well known museums are over crowded The Frick usually remains less traveled. Seeing the art and furnishing in the original mansion setting is an added bonus. There are a fascinating array of pieces and you can just wander through or avail yourself of the information available to learn the details of each piece. Slow down and enjoy... More

The Frick Collection has to be seen to be believed, the art itself is amazing and the experience is heightened even more when you appreciate that this is one man's art collection exhibited in his house just as it was when Mr Frick lived there himsels

I really enjoyed this stunning collection. It was small enough to absorb and not overwhelming like the larger museums. It was a beautiful experience.

This villa is an NYC must see - perfectly exhibited paintings and sculptures in an iconic setting- a Manhatten jewel suitable for all ages. Annoying for the Pittsburgher that Frick raped and pillaged the 'burgh and left it all to NY City!

Excellent collection of masterpieces in a historical mansion, you can see many famous artists/paintings in a short amount of time. You can comfortably see the collection in 2 hours. Well priced at USD18 adult.

Visiting the Frick is like visiting someones stately home and, well, I guess it is because it is in the townhouse of the Fricks who amassed a fantastic collection of art across the centuries. In every room there is work by for example Rembrandt, Turner, Gainsborough, Constable and Singer Sergeant, all in a beautiful setting. Tip: go early - we... More

This museum, which houses the Henry Clay Frick art collection inside his 5th Avenue mansion, is absolutely beautiful. Some of the works were added by his daughter, who clearly shared his vision. The aesthetic is hard to sum up in a few words, but serene and exquisitely tasteful come to mind first. Not only are there many beautiful paintings and... More
