Another splendid feature of The Frick Collection is the building itself. The Museum is housed the former home of the Frick Family, and it is one of the few Gilded Age mansions that still stand in New York City. This once opulent home to Henry Clay Frick, who died in 1919, is a reminder of the way the very wealthy once lived in New York City.

Much of the artwork on display in The Frick Collection was collected by Henry Clay Frick. Since his death, the Museum has continued to purchase to pieces which are on display alongside those from Frick’s own collection. A visit to this New York Attraction offers the opportunity to see a Gilded Age home and an impressive art collection. Add this to your must-see list during your next visit to New York City.
