The Frick is a wonderful museum (collection, actually). I never write reviews, but after seeing a negative review of my favorite museum in NYC I had to write. First of all, there is a free audio guide that is really easy to use, as well as a video overview of the life of Frick, etc. It is small enough to have a good visit in a couple of hours. You will see fabulous art that is not only important, but you will actually like it, and could imagine hanging it in your own home. The Metropolitan is , of course, a great,great museum. But it is huge and takes alot of time (days really) to see it all. It is truly the best, but the Frick is my choice for an uplifting, relaxing visit to see world class art. You will leave with a smile on your face, and you won't be exhausted. (you can't say that about the Metropolitan)

Staff are extremely unfriendly and imposing which detracts from being able to move freely around.

Overall, the art collection is impressive, but the mansion itself holds many wonderful surprises for the visitor. The atrium/conservatory is beautiful. There is a guided tour available through a type of wand that is quite informative. A variety of languages is offered. The museum staffmembers were friendly and eager to offer assistance. So, if you would like to experience the lifestyle of 19th century Fifth Ave millionaires, come to this museum that is just slightly off the beaten track of the typical tourist.
