Our mission at The Frick Estate Lectures is to deliver a
high-quality, carefully-curated year-round program of
lectures aimed at an intellectually curious and mature
audience and presented in collaboration with and for the
benefit of the Nassau County Museum of Art.
The Frick Estate Lectures is a high-quality, year-round program of lectures presented in collaboration with and for the benefit of the Nassau County Museum of Arts, located in Roslyn on Long Island, New York. The non-credit courses cover art, history, literature, philosophy, music and current affairs – broadly defined as the “cultural and liberal arts” – rather than “vocational” or “how-to” subjects. The program is designed to offer participants fulfillment through a rich and diverse learning experience.
