Portico Gallery

Gardens

Three historic green spaces complement the Frick’s distinguished collection and unique interiors. Visitors are invited to explore one oasis at the heart of the museum, while two viewing gardens may be enjoyed from the street and several interior vantage points. Together, these serene cultivated spaces serve as natural extensions of the visual splendor of our buildings and works of art.

Between 1916 and 1918, Henry Clay Frick purchased several important pieces of porcelain to decorate his New York mansion. Made at Sèvres, the preeminent eighteenth-century French porcelain manufactory, the objects — including vases, potpourris, jugs and basins, plates, a tea service, and a table—were displayed throughout Frick’s residence.
