amNewYorkOctober 5, 2011More 18th-century portraits by British artists than any other city museum. Hogarth and Gainsborough are well represented, and you can see a portrait of Lady Hamilton as Nature by George Romney.
Zx WangNovember 1, 2015Give what u want b/w 11 and 1 on Sundays. A decent collection of art of Renaissance.
- Amy AltonApril 3, 2011This is my favorite museum. The audio guides are free and fantastic. Sundays from 11 am - 1 pm admission is pay what you wish. Leave time to admire the atrium.
Alex RobertsonJanuary 11, 2017just the most wonderful museum space there is--check out the Vermeers. Luxuriate.
Sandra RubinchikMay 7, 2016Check out the schedule for Frick Free Nights for after-hours tours, lectures, and light snacks.
Stribling & AssociatesFebruary 15, 2012The Frick Collection is an architectural beauty. But do you know about the underground bowling alley? Commissioned by Frick in 1914, it was restored in 1997 but is kept under tight lock and key.
The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011Wander through the rooms like you’re a houseguest while drooling over Mr. Frick’s fine art collection. Be warned, there’s NO PHOTOGRAPHY allowed.
सिद्धार्थJune 29, 2014Has the most accessible collections that can be perused without developing museum fatigue. Also the garden is awesome.
Maya ShanmugamJuly 1, 2015The most intimate art museum I've ever been to; highly recommended for lovers of Dutch masters, portraits and landscapes.
Barry HeardFebruary 18, 2018I need a superlike button for this museum. Perfectly sized collection of epically important masterpieces.
BrianOctober 31, 2015Gorgeous setting for the collection. I particularly liked the Holbein portraits of Thomas Cromwell and Sir Thomas More - I grew up studying them
Roger SchonfeldAugust 17, 2014A truly pleasant visit - a lovely space with amazing density of great art works.
Lianne AiAugust 12, 2017Forever my favorite. Whenever I come here I feel peace. The collection and the rooms are just beautiful.
Natalie ShellJuly 29, 2018Intimate, well-curated collection. Take advantage of the free audio tour to enrich your time here.
clive kornitzerJanuary 5, 2019Amazing building and some real masters to gaze at ..well worth a couple of hrs
Mahalia StinesJune 25, 2013The Holbeins and the St Francis by Bellini alone require at least a half hour. By far one of the greatest Art collections in existence...
Joe CollectorApril 18, 2016Up the street from Metropolitan Museum of Art. Full of wonderful art, just the right size, not overwhelming or as crowded.
AbDecember 27, 2015It's quaint but monotone, reflecting closely Frick's inclinations. I do not share the robber barron's tastes, so found the collection uninteresting. A modern mausoleum
- FredericJune 4, 2013Great museum that doesn't seem like a museum ! Wonderful pieces of art in a beautiful neoclassical building!
Afonso de RezendeDecember 29, 2012The room wich bear the portrait paintings of Sir Thomas Morus, Cromwell (by Holbein) and El Grego's Saint Jerome is just amazing.
MuseumNerdApril 14, 2011Sit by the gorgeous fountain for a contemplative moment to prepare for seeing Bellini's exquisite "St. Francis." (Fun fact: There used to be a bowling alley in the Frick's basement!)- Michael GreenDecember 18, 2015I've been a member for years now! Great space to collect ideas and get inspired.
RazorfishSeptember 19, 2011This gorgeous gem on the Upper East Side features some of the world’s most famous works art in a beautiful and historical setting.- Daniel KarranFebruary 3, 2015BE SURE NOT TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS! Enjoy strolling through the halls and viewing some decadent art pieces!
Affinia Hotel CollectionAugust 20, 2012Sit in the Gardens or view some classic European masterpieces in a setting that feels like a trip back in time.
Theresa K.October 5, 2013A definite must if you appreciate art. No photography allowed which makes the experience more engaging.
CailinNovember 18, 2015A gorgeous collection, low key crowds, and for once, help (not annoying) audio tour.
- Longfei XingJune 1, 2015this place is great! don't forget to grab a audio tour device, which I heard is free!
Justin OrdovezaAugust 28, 2014An awesome collection. The artwork is not labeled like traditional museums.
Dan JonesAugust 22, 2014Not a "museum" with white walls abound but instead, sheer quality over quantity defines the Frick. Titian, Rembrandt, Ingres, Goya, Hogarth, just to name a few art giants that reside here. Unreal.
Sofia UzDecember 22, 2014One of our faves! Mr. Frick had a great taste. Sundays 11:00-1:00 pay what you wish
James John (Jay) Cudney IVSeptember 3, 2018Gorgeous interior. Charming landscaping. Definitely a good visit.
Greg JacobsFebruary 16, 2013A personal favorite and perfect retreat on a hot summer day, or dreary winter afternoon.
Matt BraniganDecember 4, 2012Make sure to pick up the tour guide device ... Get a much better experience than just wandering around (many of the pieces do not have detailed descriptions next to them)
Dolce&GabbanaFebruary 8, 2012Admire Goya, El Greco, Constable, Corot paintings in a relaxing setting. Sit for at least 10 minutes in the Garden Court.
Olli NMay 5, 2011One of the best Art Museums. Not so many paintings but reserve time so you can utilise the excellent audio guide recordings
Paul CarreonApril 30, 2014when you get there, watch the film in the auditorium first. it explains each room's significance to Frick.
Ange SDecember 13, 2013Come early for evenings with free public admission. 10 minutes in, and I'm around the block!
