NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

The Frick Collection boasts one of the world's most important collections of Western painting, sculpture and decorative arts. Housed in Henry Clay Frick's neoclassical mansion on Fifth Avenue, the artworks, including a room full of Fragonards, can be seen in a domestic space, the way the Frick family lived with them. Other artists represented include Bellini, Constable, Corot, Gainsborough, Goya, El Greco, Holbein, Ingres, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Titian, Turner, Velázquez, Vermeer and Whistler. 

An Acoustiguide audio tour is free with admission, offering recorded information about the masterpieces on view through a handheld listening device. The system provides up to three hours of material in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.
