Frye Art Museum

Frye Art Museum

Why go

Frye Art Museum offers a more focused art stop than a broad survey museum. Its holdings began with more than 230 paintings collected by Charles and Emma Frye, and the collection has a strong representational character. The museum opened in 1952 as Seattle's first free art museum, giving the visit a durable place in the city's cultural history.

What to look for

  • Frye Art Museum is in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood.
  • Frye Art Museum grew from Charles and Emma Frye's collection.
  • Representational paintings from the Frye collection anchor the galleries.
