The purpose of this blog is to educate people interested in renaissance architecture and the buildings that surround it. Specifically, this blog in particular is about the Beaux Arts and the building I choose to focus on is the Frick Collection in NYC. Out of the buildings we had to choose from this building stood out to me for a number of reasons, I liked that it was somebody’s mansion back in the day and reading up on the history of it was really interesting to learn about.
The assignment was in groups and I went with my friend Casey up there. Where everybody’s go to museum in the city is the met, Going to the Frick was nice because it really wasn’t that crowded when we went. It really gave me time to experience the art, sculptures, and the architecture that makes up the building without any rush. If you eventually plan on going I would recommend first and foremost to start at their website. I was able to find out loads of information about the Frick, such as the history, how to get there, whats currently on exhibit, etc. to make things even eaiser here’s the link to their website
