The Scene – New Yorkers tend to think of the Frick as their little secret, perhaps because it still looks more like a very grand private residence than an institution open to the public. But don't be put off--inside this French neoclassical building is one of the world's great art collections.

Add the Audio Tour
by ClaytonV
The Frick Collection is a wonderful museum! I can't believe I didn't visit it in my previous trips to NYC. Be sure to use the audio tour available for free when you enter the museum. It enhanced my understanding of both the individual paintings and how they are displayed in the Frick mansion. I only wish other musuems provided as good an experience as the Frick Collection.
- Pros: Quiet, Less Crowded, Audio Tour
- Cons: None

Quite and beautiful
by nadinelc
This should be the first museum on everyone's list. A great way to orientate yourself to the museum experience. It's like walking thru your first Art History book. Don't miss the special exhibits downstairs. I've never seen a boring one in 20 years.
