Families

The Scott Family Infant Care Room
New at the Frick, the Scott Family Infant Care Room was designed as a space for caregivers to tend to their young children during their visit in comfort and privacy. Located in the Grable Visitor Center, the Scott Family Infant Care Room is decorated cheerfully with custom wallpaper designed by local artist Clinton van Gemert, and features a cozy armchair, white noise machine, changing table, and toys for little ones to enjoy.
