Description
The Frick Collection comprises mostly Old Master paintings and European decorative arts (e.g. enamels and rugs) and furniture. It is normally housed in a mansion from the early 20th century (the Henry Clay Frick House) but due to extensive renovations and upgrades, its current home (the Frick Madison) is 5 blocks away.
Access & Transport
Current address: 945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street. It is a 3mins walk to '77 St' station (4, 6) and there are buses on Madison Av and Fifth Ave. FYI: the historic address is 1 East 70th Street
Instructions & Recommendations
*** The temporary Madison venue is scheduled to close early march 2024 and the historical one should reopen by end 2024 *** Children under age 10 are not admitted. Advance timed tickets are strongly recommended
Environmental & Social
Marginally negative from an environmental standpoint but the ongoing renovation are expected to result in a LEED certification. Helps spread the arts and preserve the city's architectural heritage.
Conclusion
The Frick seems to have managed its temporary relocation quite well. Most of the artwork is the same and the new display style brings the focus on each piece rather than their interaction with their immediate environment and how they complement with other decorative features. An excellent museum for lovers of 'classic' art.
