The Collection attempts to preserve the ambience of Mr. Frick's private house, and visitors are asked therefore to observe regulations necessary for protecting the works of art and their domestic setting. Because few ropes or cases are used to guard fragile objects, children under ten are not admitted to the Collection, and those under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult.
