Description:
- The robber baron and steel magnate Henry Clay Frick had this mansion built in 1914 in the 18th-century French style; it was designed by the same architects behind the New York Public Library. Frick declared that his impressive art collection remain on display there after his death, and this museum is the result. In addition to masterpieces by Vermeer, Goya and Rembrandt, this extensive collection goes above and beyond, with works from Degas, Turner, Van Dyck, Velazquez and Whistler, among others.
