The best museums Pennsylvania

Industrial became millionaire before his thirty years thanks to his company in the exploitation of coke, Henry Clay Frick was a modern patron who spent 40 years of his life and a huge part of his money in the art collection: Bronze, Italian and French paintings, China's porcelain, etc. After his death, in 1919, her daughter Helen continued his work and expanded the family collection, much of which was exhibited at the museum. Highlight of the visit: Clayton, who was the main residence of the Frick from 1883 to 1905, before they settled in their homes on 5 th Avenue in New York. The sumptuous residence, where original works and furniture are exhibited, provides an excellent overview of the day-to-day life of the wealthy (many in the neighborhood, then dubbed Millionaire's Row). The museum café is pleasant and serves good dishes.

This museum preserves the late th-century quilts from Lancaster Amish. The region and its museum are much more famous than it appears in the textile environment. So notice to amateurs. Of the 82 pieces, 6 are exposed by rotation (with change every months). Before receiving these collections, the building housed a bank, the door of which is still there.

Closed to the public until further notice.
