Otto musei da non perdere a New York
Su Spire.com arrivano otto imperdibili suggerimenti per musei di New York poco conosciuti (ahimé). Se avete abbastanza tempo, sceglietene uno! Ecco il nostro preferito, The Frick (online anche il virtual tour!)!
I can’t think of a nicer way to spend a morning or afternoon in New York than a visit to The Frick, one of the world’s finest collections of European and American Old Masters. Set in a magnificent Gilded Age mansion on Fifth Avenue, once home to wealthy industrialist and art patron Henry Clay Frick, the collection is best-known for its paintings but also has a jaw-dropping array of sculpture, 18th century French furniture and porcelains, bronze figures, Limoges enamels, and Oriental rugs. The mansion is almost exactly as Frick left it—the only tell-tale sign of a museum being the discreet security presence. The entire collection is classic (Modernists beware!) but the portfolio of Masters is stellar: Constable, Turner and Gainsborough from Britain; France’s Renoir, Monet and Degas; Italians Titian and Veronese; Goya, Velazquez and El Greco from Spain; and an array of priceless German, Dutch and Flemish masterpieces by the likes of Hals, Vermeer, Rubens, Rembrandt and Holbein. Check out the museum’s annual concert season—music and art in a wonderful setting.
Open daily except Monday, 10am to 6pm (11am to 5pm on Sunday), entry $15.
