The Frelinghuysen Museum

By Linda Frelinghuysen

"Get to Know George and Suzy" includes never-before seen paintings and original audio of George's voice thanks to a newly digitalized oral interview from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art. Selected works from the collection of Cubist masters, which instructed George and Suzy's own art, will also be on view. Enjoy greater access to the House as we re-open more rooms.

Tours are self-guided with the aid of audio or guidebooks with our knowledgeable guides standing by. Tickets can be booked on the website (and becoming members).

Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio is located at 92 Hawthorne Street in Lenox and will be open for self-guided tours from 10-4pm Thursday-Sunday. Located on a 46-acre estate in the heart of Lenox, in the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts, Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio was the home of artists George L.K. Morris and his wife Suzy Frelinghuysen. They were founding members of the American Abstract Artists, championed American abstract art, and collected some of the 20th century's greatest Cubist art including paintings by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Leger. Morris was instrumental in building the collection of the fledgling Museum of Modern Art. At the same time, he collected for himself, often from artists he knew including Henri Matisse, Fernand Leger, Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and Joan Miro among others. This collection, as well as works by Frelinghuysen and Morris are on display in a home which embodies the spirit of Modernism.

It's chives season...
