The Frick Collection is your home for art from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century. Founded by Henry Clay Frick and open since 1935, the museum offers visitors intimate encounters with one of the world’s foremost collections of European fine and decorative arts. The Frick—whose renovated Fifth Avenue buildings will reopen in early 2025—features celebrated works by Rembrandt, Fragonard,

Ingres, Bellini, Vermeer, and more. The Frick Art Research 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. Stay connected at frick.org/explore.

Tickets for the July 3 installment go on sale on Monday, June 22. Free timed tickets are encouraged, though walk-up visitors are welcome. We are deeply grateful to Louis Vuitton for sponsoring Louis Vuitton First Fridays from June 2026 through May 2027.

Over the weekend, the Frick welcomed a new family of ducklings to our 70th Street Garden! 🐣🦆

The eleven ducklings and their mom were spotted paddling around the reflecting pool. Our engineering team even built a custom ramp so the ducklings could climb back to dry land. The whole family made it safely to Central Park’s Model Boat Pond just across the street. Take good care!

We’re thrilled to see the return of this beloved tradition. Before our renovation, a pair of mallards used to relocate temporarily from their home in Central Park to the 70th Street Garden to nest and raise their young every spring. Learn more about our gardens at frick.org/gardens 🌿

Did you know that our major renovation project allowed us to nearly double the amount of works we have on view? 🖼️🏺

Explore a new thematic collection at frick.org/art dedicated to the hidden treasures and recent acquisitions newly on view since our reopening last year.

With restored first-floor galleries and the debut of ten rooms and five passages on the newly opened second floor, we expanded our capacity to display works from the permanent collection—both recent additions and objects rarely exhibited during the museum’s ninety-year history.

Happy opening day to our friends at The Public Theater! Tonight is the world premiere of "Girl, Interrupted," whose title was inspired by Vermeer’s “Girl Interrupted at Her Music,” here at the Frick 🎭✨

The new play by Martyna Majok, with original music by Aimee Mann, is based on Susanna Kaysen’s 1993 memoir of the same name. Kaysen writes about encountering Vermeer’s painting at the Frick while on a day pass from a psychiatric hospital. She recognized something of herself in its central figure: a young woman paused, unsettled, caught between two states. That fleeting interruption became a lasting metaphor for those suspended months of her life in the hospital.

Find Vermeer's "Girl Interrupted at Her Music" on view in the South Hall during your next visit to the Frick!

Early summer morning, brought to you by Turner 🖼️☀️

The artist painted this scene on the Thames in 1826 as a commission for William Moffatt, whose estate, just west of London, he shows bathed in a luminous shade of yellow—a signature of his evolving style in the 1820s.

Though Turner called this an "Early Summer Morning," the day is already buzzing with activity, from loaded boats on the river to figures tending the garden (one holding a large scythe). Two fashionably dressed men at the center of the composition have less to do: They lean against the parapet enjoying the view.

Spring into summer at the Frick 🌿🌸

This timelapse captures a bulb display in the Fifth Avenue Garden inspired by our Gainsborough exhibition (now closed) and English cottage gardens. Over the next few weeks, the floral border will change to a colorful planting celebrating the exhibition "Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette.”

Flowering plants such as sweet peas, 'Pink Champagne' California poppies, and 'Café au Lait' dahlias will reflect the color palette of the fashion plates in the show, while foliage plants such as angel wings and Joseph’s coat will evoke the fashion accessories used at the time.

A partnership between Westmoreland and our horticulture team will also bring the gardens into the café! Keep an eye out for syrups and garnishes made from flowers and herbs grown right here at the Frick.
