FUN THINGS TO DO
FROM OUR MUSEUM PARTNERS
The Frick Collection
"Cocktails with a Curator"
Fridays at 5:00 pm

The Frick Collection has been sponsoring some amazing weekly cultural events during their closure. We've been sharing their "Travels with a Curator" on our Facebook page every week where we travel around the world to join a Frick Collection curator on a tour of a famous cultural site.

We're also loving their "Cocktails with a Curator" series where one of the Frick's curators discusses a work of art accompanied by a recommended signature cocktail . Audiences under 21 are encouraged to join with a non-alcoholic drink!
