"The Frick is as grand as it gets. Usually set in the former home of millionaire industrialist Henry Clay Frick, the Frick's holdings are packed with Art History 101 Old Masters, opulent furniture and rare decorative arts. While the Fifth Avenue mansion is being renovated and expanded, the collection is being housed in a nearby brutalist icon on Madison Avenue known as the Breuer Building (it used to be the Met Breuer , and before that, the Whitney Museum of American Art )." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs

In it's temporary location until March 1, it is still worth the visit to The Frick Collection. Over four floors with a great audio guide. You can successfully see the collection in 90 minutes but do download the app. for a comprehensive audio tour. Only drawback is the one working elevator took forever but that's a sign of the building's age, not the museum. I wish photos were allowed. I have mobility concerns so elevators are my saving grace.

A temporary home for our beloved Frick Museum. The fabulous St Francis (Bellini) and The Three Philosophers (Giorgione). BIG shout out to Bloomberg for the tech to look and listen to insights about the artwork! A must have app! (Bloomberg Connects)

I was there during weekdays to see the works of Barkley LH and some works of the impressionists. The museum in its temporary location is housed in a small building but with 2 elevators. I started at the top and used the stairs on my walk down. The second exhibit is fashion and woman. Although in parts very progressive, it was extremely boring to me (and looking at the faces of most men accompanying their spouses too) but to astonishment very popular among women. Either woman got hypnotized upon entering the museum or I am just ignorant. There were no waiting lines and the the artifacts are perfectly curated and thus not overwhelming. Unlike my 2nd fav museum in the world, the MET. The Frick is def worth several visits. Although not allowed, i took some pics of the progressive fashion, i spare you the boring ones. Go see it yourself if you dont trust me 😁

What a treat to see the Frick's very formal collection of traditional art in a large and airy space. Open till Mar. 3, 2024 only but worth a visit. Free Saturday tours, free print guides to the collection, helpful guards who sound like Art PhDs.

Such an amazing museum, had such a wonderful experience there. The contrast of gorgeous old masters paintings with a stark brutalist building; absolutely beautiful. A must visit for all art and architecture lovers. A brilliant museum experience.

I have been to the mansion 3 years ago and now I visit this relocation museum. Although the atmosphere is different, that the paintings may feel less match with the grey walls, I have a chance to walk closer to the paintings and artworks to see the brushstrokes better. It is amazing that I can be that close to the painting and that the lighting is brighter so it is a nice opportunity to see the colour better. I also had a good experience using the apps to learn more about the artworks. Besides, they provide free service to hang up and keep your clothes so you can have a better experience walking around the exhibition.

Went for Barkley L. Hendricks show and was impressed not only by that exhibition but also the standard rotating Frick collection it was paired in contrast with. Also was pleased to see they encouraged free drawing with materials available for visitors on Fridays!

Fabulous collection in a fabulous building from 1966 by Marcel Breuer (1902-1981): the perfect combo. Many fantastic paintings by the likes of Vermeer, Rembrandt, Holbein, van Dyck, Boucher, Fragonard, Gainsborough, Romney, Ingres, Turner, Titian, El Greco, Goya, Whistler, Degas, Renoir, and many more. Don't miss the chance to see the Frick Collection in this unusual setting. The building itself is one of the greatest modern buildings in New York City with a staircase built for the ages. Update: the three fabulous Vermeers are back from Amsterdam. The new show of portraits by Barkley L. Hendricks (1945-2017) looks perfect among the old masters of the Frick. I also love the café in the basement, The SisterYard, which is a perfect place to relax after taking in the masterworks at the Frick.
