The Frick Collection is reopening on April 17 after extensive renovations that will allow public access to areas previously off-limits, like the family’s private spaces upstairs. These changes reflect a modernization of the gallery while respecting its historical integrity. Visitors can expect upgrades such as ADA accessibility, new lighting, and restored architectural details. The first-floor galleries remain familiar, but numerous enhancements aim to revive the collection's grandeur. Insights from former director Ian Wardropper emphasize the painstaking restoration processes and the return of the building's facade to its original vibrant state.
The Frick Collection, after extensive renovations, will finally allow public access to the upstairs family spaces, breaking from the traditional upstairs/downstairs dynamic.
Returning the Frick's galleries to their original splendor, the renovations included upgraded accessibility features, restored architectural elements, and a focus on preserving historical integrity.
