The Frick Collection

UPPER EAST SIDE. Opened in 1935, the Frick was once a private mansion and now houses numerous works. Pieces from such greats as Rembrandt, Whistler, Vermeer and El Greco are on permanent display. There are also special exhibitions, so call for a calendar of showings. While here, take a break in the indoor garden court and enjoy a quiet moment by the ornate fountain or gaze through the beautiful glass ceiling. The price of admission includes the ArtPhone audio guide. Children under 10 not admitted and those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The Frick Library, which is at 10 East 71st Street, is open to researchers with and without affiliation to an institution. TRAIN: 4, 5, 6 to 68th St
