Located on Seattle’s First Hill, the Frye Art Museum first opened in 1952 as the legacy of Charles and Emma Frye, prominent early-twentieth-century Seattle business leaders and art collectors. Admission to the Museum is always free.
The collection includes nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century German and American paintings, as well as more contemporary works that bridge visual art, media, and installation. The Museum hosts a wide variety of rotating exhibitions featuring local, national, and international artists.
The Museum also features a Café serving made-from-scratch seasonal bites and a Store featuring a curated collection of one-of-a-kind items from Pacific Northwest designers and artists.
