The Frick Collection
The Frick Collection is a museum in New York, NY, part of the New York City guide. Cost: $25 to $50.

Why you should go…
The Frick Collection shows European paintings, sculpture, furniture and ceramics in the historic rooms of Henry Clay Frick's 1914 Beaux-Arts mansion. Works by Bellini, Holbein, Titian, Turner, Velazquez and Vermeer hang largely without barriers, and there are no wall labels, so the galleries still feel like a home. The museum reopened in April 2025 after a multi-year renovation. Only children ages 10 and older are admitted, and photography is allowed only in the Garden Court.
