The Frick collection

(Entrance to the Frick collection museum)

 

     On friday, my class and I went to  the frick collection. A  Private museum located in Manhatten. It's really intresting how this museum came to be a museum to begin with. The museum started out as a house where a man named Henry clay Frick and his fmaily lived at.  Mr. Frick designed the house himself and highered the man who build the libaray in manhatten to build his house. when he died in 1919, in his will stated that his wife could live there until she died but then he wanted to turn his house into a museum.  So when Frick's wife died, the House was turned into a museum.      My two favorite parts of the Museum would probably have the garden when you first enter the museum through a small hall, with a fountain. My second favorite would prabably be the  boucher room where Frick's wife would get some alone time with her favorite painting that where imported and bought by her husband. The painting where of  doing different things  art or science related. It was really cute  because the paintings where of little kids probably no more then 4 or 5 maybe 6 yrs old doing adult jobs (not correctly if I may add which added to the cuteness.) 
    I recommend this museum (and it might even be safe to say this was my favorite museum as of now.) for many reasons. One because the paints and sculptures are amazing because one they are enormous  and they are protrits of important people through out history who  have story to tell us that one doesn't know about but they are intresting. and two, I admire how the collection is so privite and reserved like a house (no pun intended)  but really comfory and the interior design is really nice and well preserved  and everything is so neat and organized.
   The only think I would have to say that I didn't like is the fact you can't take pictures, but other then that, it really is a beautiful collection of paintings.
