"Housed in the Henry Clay Frick House (more a mansion, really), this museum showcasing its art enthusiast–industrialist owner’s collection opened in 1935 and, after more than five years of work, unveiled a $220 million upgrade and expansion in 2025 by Annabelle Selldorf. The fine assortment of Old Master paintings and furniture remains, now joined by three new galleries and a shimmering subterranean auditorium for performances, and the right-sized scale means everything can be seen in an hour or less." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
