The Frick Collection reopens after $220 million renovation

The Frick Collection in New York will reopen next month after a $220 million renovation. The museum, housed in a historic mansion, had closed during the COVID-19 pandemic and temporarily relocated its artworks. The renovation includes a new marble staircase and an auditorium, enhancing the museum's space while preserving its architectural integrity. The updates aim to modernize the Frick and address various logistical challenges. Despite concerns from preservationists, the expansion is designed to respect the original structure while improving visitor experience. The project marks a significant update for the museum as it reenters the cultural scene.
