frick art and historical center印象

Beautiful small museum. You can visit the house only if you pre-book your time. Took a cab from our hotel, easy enough, BUT when we tried to get a cab back, we waited over an hour and the cab never came to pck us up. Had to walk to a bus stop and bus it back. Very annoying for seniors....

This house embodies the opposite of Pittsburgh stereotypes. The classic grandeur of the house, coupled with the lovely open space of the grounds have no business being associated with an industrial city full of engineering college students. Our tour guide, Bunny, was incredibly knowledgeable about the house and family, and seemed to really love her job. Besides the house, the cafe serves a fantastic tea service with friendly servers in lovely surroundings. I highly recommend visiting this step back in time.

Very cold day when we were there.The house was warm inside. A trip back to the guilded age. Lightly decorated for Christmas. House was very dark inside due to the lighting and the decor. Very knowledgeable docents.

What a way to start the holiday season. Try to schedule your tour around 5:00 p.m. so that you can enjoy the lights when it gets darker. The new visitor center was well worth a look. Don't forget to go to the Frick Art Museum and Car Museum...always an added bonus. Late lunch in the café (reservations highly recommended) was also a great way to enjoy this site.

We stopped on Dec. 30. The home tour required reservations. They were kind of stuffy staff. I have been to many historic homes. I would call this one over rated. Museum is nice and free.

The five star rating is for the house, not the art museum. The art museum portion gets two stars. We went on a house tour, walked around the grounds and visited the art museum. The house was very interesting and our docent knowledgeable. You visit the first and second floors of the home and the tour lasts about an hour. A walk through the green house is especially interesting if you like gardening. The art museum collection was skimpy, especially because they were in between traveling collections. One entire room was religious paintings, so unless you are into that, you will be bored. But the art museum portion was free, so I wasn’t particularly disappointed. The house is definitely worth a visit. There is a cute little café on the grounds, but I can't speak to how it is.

I visited the museum and home of Henry Frick today. As a resident of tis region it was something I had not yet done. The museum had just received works from Curran. These were a treat to see. The rest of the museum was very pleasant $ quit nice. We walked to the shop and got tickets to get the house tour ( the museum was free!). The house tor was $10.00 and lasted about 45 minutes. It is a beautiful historically kept home. It was a treat to take the tour and see how Henry Frick and his family lived. I thou rightly enjoyed this part of the day trip( for me).

The Frick museum is a Pittsburgh Gem. They have wonderful exhibits and the mood is just perfect. Easy parking. Smaller crowds. A perfect place to take a date or friends to see some amazing collections of art.

Overshadowed by the better-known Frick Museum in NYC, the art and historical center is well worth a visit, mostly for what it conveys of the life a of a tycoon and his daughter, Helen, who was a collector and philanthropist who deserves to better known. The 1970 museum is a fine late example of Beaux Arts architecture. The permanent collection largely of interest to fans of Italian religious art. The mansion to me is the main draw--very lovingly restored.

We loved the museum, principally because of the current exhibit, which was Charles Courtney Curran. His paintings and the history and stories behind them were fascinating and captivating. We happen to really enjoy his style and we spent a few hours in the several galleries which housed the exhibit. The remainder of the museum was also superb. The admission was free for this portion of the tour--an excellent value. As for Clayton (the homestead), the admission fee was about $11 person. There was a slight discount for AAA. The tour was very nice, possibly could have been a lesser entrance fee, but the funds are probably used for renovations, etc. so it goes to a good cause (let's hope). Our tour guide was very well versed, and there was a small enough group to be able to enjoy the tour. They do limit the # of people, so you have to call ahead. Tour is one hour long. Museum can be anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on the exhibits and whether you like them or not.
