The Frick Collection

Cimabue's late 12th century devotional paintings are on display at The Frick presently. It's a glorious space with indoor and outdoor water fountains and flora.

My first visit to the mansion on 70th Street just east of 5th Avenue was marked by my first time carrying and using an audio guide. The information imparted was a bit too detailed and sophisticated for my palette, but the basic take-away was enhaced by the context. Talk about getting a free Art History lesson~

I'm never museum-ing without the audio guide. I'm also leaning away from going with others. NO reason to slow or speed up to suit the pace of another when you have a array of experts to walk you through at a pace you choose.
