About
The Frick Pittsburgh is a museum campus at the corner of Penn and South Homewood avenues in the Point Breeze neighborhood (entrance on Reynolds Street), about 20 minutes east of downtown Pittsburgh. The campus includes The Frick Art Museum, the Car and Carriage Museum, the Grable Visitor Center, the Education Center, the Greenhouse and gardens, the Café at the Frick, and Clayton — the restored 1892 Gilded Age mansion of the Frick family. Admission to the gardens, The Frick Art Museum's permanent collection, and part of the Car and Carriage Museum is always free; special exhibitions and Clayton tours are ticketed and often sell out, so advance purchase is recommended.

Our Guidelines
1. Make Accessibility Info Easy to Find - Dedicated Website Accessibility Page

Clearly post detailed accessibility information online, covering parking, entrances, interior pathways, site plans, and more.


2. Include All Mobility Devices

Consider walkers, canes, crutches — not just wheelchairs. Provide specifics for a variety of mobility needs. Include people who use different devices in the conversation.

3. Go Beyond ADA Compliance

ADA is the minimum. Strive for real-world accessibility through thoughtful design and ongoing improvements.

4. Visibility = Accessibility

If disabled visitors aren't present, barriers may exist. Transparency and preparation are the keys to inclusion. Empower everyone to attend.
