Customers have spoken, and the museum has listened.
Driven by popular demand, The Frick Pittsburgh in Point Breeze announced the extension of its “Van Gogh, Monet, Degas: The Mellon Collection of French Art From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts” exhibit another week to Sunday, July 15.
The museum will also extend its hours to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, July 10, through Sunday, July 15, during the exhibit’s final week.
General admission is $15, free for Frick members. The museum strongly encourages customers to purchase tickets in advance at TheFrickPittsburgh.org, or by phone at 412-371-0600.
The exhibit — which opened March 17 — features more than 70 masterpieces collected by Paul Mellon, Pittsburgh-born collector and philanthropist. It includes works by Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and impressionist, post-impressionist and romantic works by 10 other French artists.
Because crowds are expected to reach maximum capacity, docent-led tours will not be offered for the exhibit during its final week. The exhibit is the first in a pair of Mellon-collected exhibitions to be displayed provided by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, Va.
