Where is The Frick Collection?

Beautifully situated on the southern end of the Museum Mile, is the Art Museum: “The Frick Collection”. The Central Park mansion was once the home of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), a wealthy industrialist and art collector who, after his death, opened his prestigious residence to the public as a Museum.

The model for the Frick Collection is the collection of the Marquise of Hertford, who converted his home in London together with his art collection into a Museum and made it available to the public as the Wallace Collection. Henry Clay Frick looked at this collection in London and now concretized his plans to convert his future instructions into a Museum after his death. In 1905, the art collector moved to New York to spend the rest of his life there. Architects Carrère and Hastings were commissioned to build a Villa on New York’s Central Park.
