The Frick Museum, known for its dense collection of masterpieces, has reopened after a four-year renovation. Despite past criticisms likening it to a 'mausoleum', the museum has flourished, enhancing its exhibition space and maintaining its classic interiors. Notably, the revamped venue features an increased display of artworks, including a newly restored Music Room and the intact 70th Street Garden. Henry Clay Frick's legacy as a passionate art collector is significant, with notable acquisitions that shaped the museum’s prestigious collection.
"Square foot for square foot, the Frick has the densest concentration of masterpieces in America, installed alongside decorative objects in gloriously stuffy interiors."
"After a four-year absence for renovations, the Frick is happily back in its bigger, better Fifth Avenue manse, with almost twice as much on view now."
