New York City is known for its vast collection of art museums ranging from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is usually the most renowned, to others like the Solomon R. Guggenheim or the Whitney Museum of American Art which are famous in their own right. This abundance of art museums makes the city very attractive to foreign visitors. However, this abundance of choice can overwhelm even the most knowledgeable visitors who have a limited amount of time to explore what the city has to offer. While all of the above-mentioned museums have great collections of their own, the often overlooked Frick Collections might beat them all in terms of exceptional works that include some of the world's most celebrated Western artists, such as Goya, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt and Renoir. Located in 1 East 70th Street, New York City, The Frick Collection is an elegant and well-kept museum housed in the former residence of Henry Clay Frick, a successful steel and coke industrialist who amassed an incredible fortune during the 19th century in Pittsburgh. The museum is easily accessible by public transportation as various trains such as the N line or R line stop nearby, between 5th Avenue and 59th Street. The collection is open six days a week from 10am to 6pm Tuesday to Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday. Adults are required to pay $20 while students with a valid ID are required to pay $10. On Sundays, the Collection institutes a ticketed format similar to that used by the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. . Please note that children under the age of 10 are not permitted in the Collection.

However, its collection is not limited only to paintings, as one can also find significant sculptures such as Bernini's “Angel's Head” from 1655 and Clodion's “Zephyr and Flora” from 1799. Along with these sculptures, a vast collection of Italian bronzes and 18th-century furniture combine to create a museum that, while small in size compared to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, makes up for it with a vast collection of carefully selected pieces from some of the world's most renowned artists.
