Housed in the former residence of Henry Clay Frick, the Collection includes some of the best-known paintings by the greatest European artists, major works of sculpture (with one of the finest groups of small bronzes in the world), superb 18th century French furniture and porcelains, Limoges enamels, Oriental rugs, and other remarkable works.
In addition to its regular exhibits, the Frick Collection from time to time offers Special Exhibitions, as well as a fairly full schedule of concerts and lectures.
Due to space limitations, guided tours are not conducted; nor are school programs. However, groups may take a Self-Guided Tour with the aid of guides that may be purchased at the museum. It is certainly a worthwhile trip for those interested in fine works of art.

School children should be at least ten years old, and classes divided into groups of ten or fewer, each accompanied by an adult.
