Frick Collection Renovation Receives Multiple Preservation Honors
The Frick Collection has received four major preservation awards for its comprehensive renovation project, which was completed nearly a year ago. The awards were presented this spring by prominent architectural preservation organizations: Friends of the Upper East Side, Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, Municipal Art Society of New York, and New York Landmarks Conservancy. In April, the Friends of the Upper East Side recognized the institution with their 2026 Seamless Heritage Award, praising the project as a sensitive enhancement of a cultural landmark. The renovation respected the legacy of the museum's original 1914 and 1935 buildings.
