Video from The Frick Collection
Welcome to the Frick!
"Steve Martin narrates this immersive introduction to the wonders of The Frick Collection in New York City. Following a major renovation completed in spring 2025, the museum invites you to rediscover its unique atmosphere and collections in its historic home at 1 East 70th Street—a place to slow down and get closer to objects of beauty and awe.
Learn about the museum’s founder, industrialist Henry Clay Frick, as well as the history of its iconic buildings and holdings, including the creation of the Frick Art Research Library by Helen Clay Frick. The video also traces the institution’s evolution over time, from a private Gilded Age mansion to a civic resource “for the use and benefit of all persons whomsoever,” offering educational programs, special exhibitions, concerts, events, and more.
The Frick has inspired generations of museumgoers, artists, writers—and even comedians! Plan your visit today and discover it for yourself." from the video introduction
