Yes, go! If you love art
The Frick Collection is your home for art from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century. Founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919), the museum offers visitors intimate encounters with one of the world’s foremost collections of European fine and decorative arts. The Frick—now in its temporary location at Frick Madison, at the Breuer-designed building at 945 Madison Avenue, while its historic buildings undergo renovation—features celebrated works by Rembrandt, Fragonard, Ingres, Bellini, Vermeer, and more. The Frick Art Reference Library, a leading art historical research center, was established one hundred years ago by Helen Clay Frick and provides access to its rich collections for scholars and the public alike.

A superb collection of European art
The majority of the Frick Collection is currently housed in the very contemporary Met Breuer building as Frick Madison. Despite the rathe bare rooms, the collection has been brilliantly curated and covers European painting, sculpture and objects such as pottery and furniture, from Renaissance to Impressionists. The Collection is only open Thursday to Sunday and although masks are recommended, they're not mandated. We walked up on a Friday afternoon, so no pre-booking of timed tickets was necessary. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, so all in all a wonderful collection that is more accessible in its size and far less crowded than the Met.

A real treat to experience the Frick Collection in a new way!!
What a treat to visit the Frick Madison in the former Met Breuer building!! We had visited the Frick Collection in its home location on a previous visit to New York. This time, after months of watching the Frick curators share the collection via weekly virtual programs, We had to return to see the paintings and sculptures and other works up close and personal in this new setting. It was truly a privilege to see once again the Fragonards, the Bouchers, Ingres's 'Comtesse d'Haussonville', Turner's Harbor of Dieppe', Constable's 'White Horse', Bellini's 'St. Francis in the Desert', the Whistlers, the Impressionists, and so many other familiar works! The only disappointment was not being able to take photographs within the galleries, not even for the architecture of the rooms (the ceiling is so unique and interesting). During these COVID times, timed tickets bought in advance are required, and at the entrance, vaccination card and photo ID have to be shown, with masks required throughout your visit, except in the cafe garden.
