Frye Art Museum

Founded in 1952, the Frye brings together art and new ideas within a stunning Olson Sundberg Kundig-designed building in historic First Hill. The museum connects Seattle with the art and artists of our time. We collect, exhibit, program, and build community around a wide range of modern and contemporary art, with a special focus on amplifying the voices of living artists. Admission to the Frye is always free.

The Frye offers a wide variety of programming and events, from artist talks and hands-on workshops to performances and weekly in-gallery conversations. Visit MariPili at Café Frieda, serving Galician-inspired sandwiches, salads, and small plates, in addition to wine, beer, and espresso. The Museum Store features a curated collection of one-of-a-kind items from Pacific Northwest designers and artists.
