The Frick Collection announced today that it will reopen its Fifth Avenue home in April 2025. Selldorf Architects as Design Architect, with Beyer Blinder Belle Architects and Planners as Executive Architect, have been working on the renovation and enhancement project since 2016. Visitors will experience the museum’s permanent collection anew, with its iconic masterworks reinstalled in restored spaces on the first floor, along with rarely exhibited and recently acquired works shown in a new suite of galleries on the mansion’s second floor, open to the public for the first time. The Frick Art Research Library and its refurbished Reading Room will reopen concurrently with the museum, with brand-new entry points on multiple levels that enable a seamless integration of the institution’s two branches.

The Frick’s outgoing Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Director Ian Wardropper stated, “As we look ahead to reopening our doors, we are excited to welcome visitors back to enjoy what makes the Frick such a unique museum within the cultural landscape of New York City. The intimate encounters with art offered by our historic galleries, along with new spaces transformed from former domestic interiors, remain a cornerstone of the Frick experience. These spaces have been enhanced thanks to the efforts of the architects, artisans, preservation experts, curators, and many others who have made our historic renovation and enhancement project a reality. We are especially honored and gratified by the extraordinarily generous support of donors to this project, the most important in our history.”
