# Talk:Frick Collection

Specific text to be added or removed: add the underlined sentence and remove the struckthrough sentences as they would then be redundant
The Frick Collection is an art museum in New York City. In March 2021, the Collection temporarily relocated to Frick Madison, at the Marcel Breuer–designed building at 945 Madison Avenue, during the renovation of its historic buildings. Its permanent collection features Old Master paintings and European fine and decorative arts, including works by Bellini, Fragonard, Goya, Rembrandt, Turner, Velázquez, Vermeer, and many others. The museum was founded by the industrialist Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919), and its collection has more than doubled in size since opening to the public in 1935. The Frick also houses the Frick Art Reference Library, a premier art history research center established in 1920 by Helen Clay Frick (1888–1984).
Amid a two-year renovation, the museum building is temporarily closed; the Frick is exhibiting at 945 Madison Avenue, the former Whitney Museum building. There the Frick gallery is called Frick Madison; it opened in March 2021.

This info was added to the lede, fulfilling the edit request in March, and was subsequently removed in June. I have been in touch with the Frick recently, as we've done editathons together before, and they still feel it's very important to have something in the lede, and I do think they have a point. Perhaps something a bit shorter than the previous version, like: Its permanent collection (normally at the Henry Clay Frick House, currently at 945 Madison Avenue)...-Pharos (talk) 20:06, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
I agree that this brief inclusion in the lede is important enough to include. ɱ (talk) 19:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
