Jewels of art displayed in the 1914 Frick Collection mansion--which opened as a museum in 1935--include a Rembrandt self-portrait and many jewel-toned El Grecos. Rooms are furnished with 18th-century French furniture, porcelains, and Oriental rugs, and delightful and intriguing French clocks chime on the hour. Though all the artists in the collection, save one, are men, there are many portraits of women.
