The Frick's education department designs programs that explore the interdisciplinary nature of the site.

From fine art in The Frick Art Museum to primary sources in Clayton to the industry of transportation in our Car and Carriage Museum, our programs stress hands-on, interactive learning, provide collaborative experiences, and explore deductive reasoning and critical thinking for all ages.
