　　THE BEST OF MANHATTAN'S①ART GALLERIES

　　The Frick Collection (5th Avenue② an、 E．70th Street)

　　　　Many art lovers would rather visit③ this small art gallery than any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection to the American people④. Frick had a preference⑤ for pre­twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well­represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick's beautiful home and garden which are well worth a visit. ①Manhattan/mæn'hætən/n.曼哈顿岛；曼哈顿区(纽约市中心)

②avenue/'ævənjuː/n.林荫道；道路；大街

③would rather do sth.宁愿做某事

④a rich New Yorker是Henry Clay Frick的同位语。现在分词短语leaving his house ...在句中作结果状语。

　　曼哈顿艺术画廊荟萃

　　弗里克收藏馆(第5大道和第70街东大道交汇处)

　　在纽约，比起其他任何艺术馆，许多艺术爱好者更乐意参观这家小型艺术陈列馆。亨利·克莱·弗里克，纽约的一位富豪，于1919年去世，把他的房子、家具和艺术收藏品留给了美国人民。弗里克对20世纪以前的西方绘画有偏爱，而在这个陈列馆的珍藏品里这些绘画得以很好地展出。你还可以考察一下弗里克美丽的故居和花园，它们是很值得一看的。

　　Guggenheim Museum⑥ (5th Avenue and 88th Street)

　　This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed⑦ at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to⑧ those who love Impressionist and Post­Impressionist paintings. The Guggenheim Museum building is also world­famous. When you walk into the gallery, you feel as if you were inside a fragile⑨， white seashell⑩. The best way to see the paintings is to start from the top floor and walk down to the bottom. There are no stairs, just a circular⑪ path. The museum also has an excellent restaurant.
