A very nice, well-curated, free art museum in a nice part of town. A little on the small side as museums go, but there's quality material inside. Well worth a visit!

The museum's curators bring in wonderful, thought-provoking exhibits. There is a tremendous emphasis on diversity, with artists from minority communities often featured prominently. Holding a distinguished permanent collection of its own, which is rotated through the galleries on a regular basis, The Frye shares masterpieces in a way that makes the art feel intimately accessible. The docents and other staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Visitors will appreciate the building's architectural features including a reflecting pool outside along Terry Avenue. The Frey hosts lectures and has a delightful gift shop that is not to be missed, and guests can also enjoy culinary offerings provided by talented chefs at Café Frieda. (At the time of this posting, some services are temporarily scheduled on a reduced basis. It is recommended that one phone ahead or look at the website.) The Frye is a community gem. There is no charge to enter the museum.

Great curation of PNW regional artists. When it's on display, be sure to check out the Frye's founding collection.

What a lovely art museum! We saw the Black Refraction exhibit, and it was incredible. They chat he exhibits, so you can return every few months for something new. Perfect place to spend a couple of hours!

Questions & Answers

Is there a high turnover rate among the "managers" at Frye? Who is Molly Phillips? Who is Lynn Chou? Why does a voice greeting from Molly play when calling Lynn? As of November 9, 2017, who is in charge of education programs at Frye?

Hard to say if it's high turnover or just out of date. Remember, Frye is a FREE museum and many staff members may be starting careers as volunteers.

Is it open on Sundays? Is it free?

Free, but a donation is appreciated. The museum even offers free parking, which is so helpful (& rare) in Seattle.

They were allowed in the main gallery, but many museums have different policies for non-permanent exhibits.

What are the dates for the Monet exhibit along with the local?

Lynn Howard | Aug 10, 2022
Kimie Montenegro | Aug 11, 2022

The Monet exhibit is until August 5th. If you wish to have a French guided tour, I would recommend you to contact someone at the organization "Made in France" and see if they have scheduled additional tours or contact the Frye Museum directly. Good luck.

Is there a place to park bicycles?

Raye Maestas | Aug 10, 2022
Kay Butler | Aug 11, 2022

At the moment there is very little parking due to construction. Public parking is avalible nearby and pay-to-park by phone or booth is avalible on just about every street.

Do you have to be vaccinated to visit the Frye?

Ginny Reilly | Aug 10, 2022

No. They ask no proof of vaccination. Most people wore masks last Saturday.

Where is the Frye Museum Parking Lot?

Susan Lynch-Ritchie | Aug 10, 2022
Roy Senberry | Aug 11, 2022

There's no designated parking or lot but there's street parking around the area. Spots fill up fast from the nearby apartments and businesses though. I would use a pay lot if you don't want to use transit, or park a lot further away.

Thanks for your interest in the Frye Art Museum. We don’t currently have any loans on view from the Frick collections of New York or Pittsburgh. We hope this answers your question!
