The frick collection has new plans to open up the second floor of the museum formerly the private quarters of the frick family. They now reside in the ground floor boucher room where they coexist with luxurious french decorative arts. Its 1930s building is beside the museum but not actually connected to it. This new construction will create much needed new educational rooms on its first floor and a cafe with views of central park on the second floor.

The frick collection renovation includes a new passageway linking the museum and the library. Second floor landing in the former frick residence. The footprint of the room was created by combining the former ladies dressing room part of the butler s pantry and the adjoining silver safe.
