Deets: For nearly ninety years, visitors from around the world have been deeply moved by the beauty and tranquility of The Frick Collection. To ensure the continued quality of the Frick experience, we have undertaken a renovation and enhancement project that will enable us to better serve a twenty-first-century audience. Carried out with care and sensitivity, the project will make more of the 1914 Carrère and Hastings mansion accessible to the public. Critical updates to the buildings’ infrastructure will allow us to provide the highest standard of care for the priceless collections they house, while the addition of new amenities and improved accessibility will ensure an unparalleled experience for an international community of art lovers, students, and scholars.
To design the project, the Frick selected Selldorf Architects, a firm internationally recognized for its renovations and additions that honor a building’s original character. Selldorf has partnered with executive architect Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners, one of the country’s leading firms for historic preservation.
This project is the Frick’s first comprehensive renovation and upgrade since 1935. We will:
Open the mansion’s second floor to the public and create a dedicated space on the first floor for special exhibitions
Create designated, state-of-the-art spaces for education, research, and public programs
Add visitor amenities, including a café and an auditorium
Update critical infrastructure, including modernizing conservation studios
Physically unite the museum and the adjacent Frick Art Research Library to foster collaboration between visitors, scholars, and staff
Improve ADA accessibility throughout the museum and library
Hint for the Average Socialite: Get excited to discover our iconic masterworks reinstalled in restored galleries on the museum's first floor, plus smaller-scale paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects on view throughout the newly opened second floor. With a slate of special installations and public programs also on offer, the Frick's inaugural season invites you to experience our collection anew. We can't wait to welcome you back!
