  • What a Frick-ing fantastic place! The Frick Art & Historical Center has all the bases covered when it comes to museums: historical site, visual art, beautiful grounds, classic cars and buggies, restaurant, greenhouse. Not to mention that everything -- with the exception of the house tour -- is free. No one could possibly say there's *nothing* that here interests him here. Husband certainly couldn't convince me. I kid. He's a trooper. We arrived at the Frick on a gorgeous blue morning and started out with an excellent tour of the Frick family abode. When the family moved to New York City after Henry Clay struck it rich in the steel business, they kept their house in Pittsburgh for return visits to the city; 93% of what's in the house is original to the Frick family, which always makes a house tour more interesting to me. They lived lavishly, and Frick was an avid art collector. His personal collection -- displayed both in the home and museum -- is impressive. After our tour we visited the Car and Carriage Museum, which had husband transfixed with its Model T Touring Car, Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, American Bantam Convertible Coupe, Panhard et Levassor Tonneau and Lincoln Model K Sport Phaeton among others. Finally, we finished up with a spin around the Art Museum itself. It's a beautiful building with a very manageable size. I was thrilled to find a current exhibition of Medieval Persian pottery -- found along the ancient Silk Road route -- currently running as well. Say what you will about H. C. Frick (let's be real: the Johnstown Flood and handling of the Homestead Strike would have tarnished Mother Teresa's image), the Museum and Historical Site are *well* worth your time.
