FRICK ART & HISTORICAL CENTER

Industrial became millionaire before his thirty years thanks to his company in the exploitation of coke, Henry Clay Frick was a modern patron who spent 40 years of his life and a huge part of his money in the art collection: Bronze, Italian and French paintings, China's porcelain, etc. After his death, in 1919, her daughter Helen continued his work and expanded the family collection, much of which was exhibited at the museum. Highlight of the visit: Clayton, who was the main residence of the Frick from 1883 to 1905, before they settled in their homes on 5 th Avenue in New York. The sumptuous residence, where original works and furniture are exhibited, provides an excellent overview of the day-to-day life of the wealthy (many in the neighborhood, then dubbed Millionaire's Row). The museum café is pleasant and serves good dishes.
