Today, it is home to the Frick Collection, which reopened in April 2025 after a four-year renovation that restored its Beaux-Arts splendor and allowed visitors to check out the second floor for the first time. I toured the museum to see how it continues to uphold the jaw-dropping estate's beauty and dedication to art."
"The museum used to be the home of Gilded Age powerhouse Henry Clay Frick. For the first time ever, the second floor is open to the public. Henry Clay Frick was one of the real titans of America's Gilded Age, a steel magnate whose fortune, ambition, and controversies would rival anything going on with the Russells on "The Gilded Age." His family's Fifth Avenue mansion took up entire New York City block when it was completed in 1914."
