To the Holy Sepulcher: Treasures from the Terra Sancta Museum
October 2, 2025 to January 5, 2026
This groundbreaking exhibition presents more than forty rare objects from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. These treasures were donated by European Catholic monarchs and Holy Roman Emperors in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the church in Jerusalem, the religious center of the Christian faith, and have been safeguarded and used ever since by the Franciscan friars who maintain the site.
Flora Yukhnovich’s Four Seasons
September 3, 2025 to March 9, 2026
Taking inspiration from the French Rococo, Italian Baroque, and Abstract Expressionist movements, Flora Yukhnovich (b. England, 1990) creates work that is at once modern and timeless by translating historic compositions into contemporary abstractions. Using the Frick’s Four Seasons by François Boucher as a point of departure, Yukhnovich's site-specific mural covers the walls of the museum's Cabinet.

Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture
February 12 to May 11, 2026
Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture explores the relationship between works by period-defining English artist Thomas Gainsborough and fashion, a concept and industry that touched nearly every aspect of British society in the eighteenth century.
The museum's first special exhibition dedicated to the artist—and the first devoted to Gainsborough's portraiture ever held in New York—this show brings together over two dozen of Gainsborough's most spectacular portraits from across North America and the United Kingdom, representing each stage of his four-decade career.
