What people say, in short
Visitors recommend the Frick for seeing art in a more intimate mansion setting, and several call it a favourite smaller museum. Experiences after its reopening vary: commenters report queues and crowding, with one leaving early despite admiring the collection. Another found it less crowded than the largest museums. Older comments about the temporary Breuer display describe a different setting.
