Welcome to The Frick Collection, one of New York City's most beloved cultural treasures. At this Web site, you can learn more about the exceptional works of Western European art from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century that industrialist Henry Clay Frick generously bequeathed to the public. Remarkable paintings, sculptures, and decorative art objects are presented in the family's former Fifth Avenue mansion, and the special ambience provided by this setting — that of an art connoisseur's home — has been preserved. You may experience a sense of it on our website's virtual tour, while also learning about public programs — such as free lectures and concerts — as well as ways to support The Frick Collection through membership and fundraising events.
The Frick Art Reference Library is esteemed worldwide by scholars and students. Information about the facilities and services of this great repository for the study and advancement of art history can be found on this website, and you may also log onto FRESCO, the online catalogue.
If you have enjoyed your online preview of The Frick Collection, I hope you are inspired to follow up with a personal visit.
