My wife & I went into the Frick in between visits to some of the "Larger" museums. We were ecstatically pleased, without being overwhelmed, with the exquisite presentation of a wide variety of art. If I remember correctly, everyone is given one of those audio tour devices (vs. charging for it, as other museums do). Listen to it; it is a superb overview! Even the rest rooms were spotless!
