Learning at the Frick
We believe that every visit is an opportunity to learn, to be inspired and to be delighted by art, history and nature, and we offer many different opportunities to learn in ways that mean the most to you.
Take a guided tour of Clayton or explore the current exhibition on your own, join us for a workshop or a lunchtime lecture, or simply walk the grounds and feel refreshed. We welcome you to visit and discover all that you can learn at the Frick.
For Educators
Our hands-on learning programs for students K-12 are teacher friendly, address academic standards and use art, history, and nature to understand different times and contexts. Frick programs address cross curricular standards, integrating writing, art, science and even economics to broaden student perspectives.

Looking for something different for your scout troop?

All programs are interactive and hands on. Scouts can experience beautiful artwork and create their own masterpieces in response; play parlor games and handle antique household items as they tour a 150-year-old mansion; or explore five acres of lawns and gardens letterboxing their way around the site. Friendly booking, personalized attention, fascinating collections, and small groups add up to the best Girl Scout field trip you’ll take!
