Whatever you do, don't miss the Frick. I've been here twice, it is simply unforgettable. Stately old mansion, stunning collection, great value. I'd come back every time just to see one work - the Holbein portrait of Sir Thomas More - let alone the other magnificent treasures here. It also has a terrific gift shop. Quite simply, the Frick is... More

This collection is sufficiently diverse to make you want to visit again and again, Treasures are there for the finding, calm relaxed approach and a lock of fuss characterize each succeeding visit.

Unlike many other museums the Frick Collection is not enormous and you can see the lovely building and great art exhibition within 2 hours, and at a cost of $18 per person. It is quality over quantity - The museum is a lovely combination of grand home and great artistic taste. Pick up a free audio guide to ensure you... More

The priceless works of art here are just amazing. The setting is so wonderful and it is smaller so you can take more time to appreciate and enjoy the art "in situ" and not feel rushed. I liked the included headset where you can dial in the number of the artwork and learn more about it. Very well done and... More

I'm not an art lover, but this house-converted-museum by a man hated by Pittsburg steel workers (one of Carnegie's colleagues) was facinating. The history of the man and how his collection came to be is so intriguing. They don't allow cameras, but my favorite piece is in the main room of Hans Holbein's "Sir Thomas More". Go see the detail... More

This wonderful private mansion includes some of the best-known paintings by the greatest European artists, major works of sculpture, eighteenth-century French furniture and porcelains. And the building itself is an artistic attraction. If you love works of art, do not miss this gem!

Beautiful home with impressive artwork. An easy way to spend a Rainy hour! A little spendy entrance fee, but it supports the museum.

The Frick Collection is housed in old style glamour on 5th Avenue - one of the biggest privately owned mansions that has become a very special museum. You go back in time when you enter Charles Frick study with the two Holbeins on either side of the massive fireplace. Every room has something special in it - the glass central... More
