The Frick Art Museum
PLEASE NOTE: The Frick Art Museum will be closed from March 11, 2024 through April 5, 2024 while in between exhibitions. The museum will reopen on April 6, 2024 with Vermeer, Monet, Rembrandt: Forging the Frick Collections in Pittsburgh & New York, during which admission will be required for entry into the museum.
Designed by Pittsburgh architects Pratt, Schafer & Slowik, the Italian Renaissance-style Frick Art Museum was built by founder Helen Clay Frick to house her collection of fine and decorative arts, as well as paintings, sculpture and porcelains that she had inherited from her father. Strengths of the collection include French 18th-century painting and decorative arts, early Italian Renaissance painting, Renaissance and Baroque bronzes, and extraordinary Chinese porcelains.
Highlights of the permanent collection include a portrait by Rubens, a pastoral scene by Boucher, and Italian panel paintings by Giovanni di Paolo and Sassetta.
The museum also hosts an ongoing schedule of traveling exhibitions and related lectures, tours and workshops.
