About The Frick Collection
Henry Clay Frick built his Beaux-Arts mansion in 1914 to house his collection. It opened as a public museum in 1935 with the residence largely intact.
The Frick reopened in 2025 after a major Selldorf Architects renovation that introduced new gallery space and reopened the second-floor family rooms to visitors for the first time.
