On the way back to Brooklyn from the Pom meet the Frick Museum caught my eye. Had been wanting to visit since their 330 million dollar upgrade where they opened a second floor to the collection.

Henry Clay Frisk was an American industrialist involved in a bumpy business relationship with Andrew Carnegie. Driven by the need for power and wealth he harshly treated his workers. This is turn caused his assassination by an anarchist who broke into his home shooting him in the head and stabbing him.

Much of the museum is portraits and religious works. However, with the opening of the second floor rare ceramics, watches, and a even more rare collection of medals are on display.

This send floor was where the family resided. And while the art is beyond words the rooms with their ornate fireplaces, hand carved wood trim are a work of art onto its own. Take the time to closely view the beauty of each room if you are fortunate enough to visit.

It is well worth the $30 admission fee.
