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.
