The Frick in Manhattan tops my list of 'favorite museums'. The Fricks' Manhattan residence is a fabulous joy to explore and and a delight to behold. Mr. Frick had a sublime sense of beauty coupled with exquisite taste. He possessed the money to see his unique vision take root in reality as well as the generosity of spirit to leave it to the public.

In the photograph, the Frick is temporarily set up for a very special party. When I visit the Frick, that is the way I always think of it. I imagine it as it 'was' when it was a familiar family home; filled with light and laughter and love.
