Frye Art Museum
4.6 (1,867)museum
4.6 (1,867)An intimate Seattle museum pairing salon-hung historic paintings with sharp, rotating contemporary exhibitions.
Description
The museum centers on an eclectic collection of late 19th- and 20th-century American and European art. Built on a manageable scale, the galleries offer a thoughtful encounter rather than an overwhelming spectacle, making the space equally suited to a focused, one-hour escape or an unhurried afternoon. The visit is rounded out by an on-site café and a gift shop stocked with cards reproducing the museum's artwork.
