Für die heutige bz Basel durfte ich für den @vcsblbs ein paar Autobahn-, S-Bahn- und #Tempo30-Fragen beantworten: https://www.bzbasel.ch/basel/basel-stadt/florian-schreier-vom-vcs-ueber-bahnknoten-basel-und-rheintunnel-ld.4117470

Die trinationale Region #Basel braucht eine trinationale S-Bahn, von #Mulhouse bis #Tecknau, von #Frick bis #Delémont. Dafür braucht es noch viel und es muss rasch vorwärts gehen.

The Frick Collection: Enjoy Art In A Historic Gilded Age Setting

Open to the public again, The Frick Collection is a unique house museum on New York's Upper East Side that holds the world-class art collection of Henry Clay Frick.

It was a hot and steamy day Friday, but the experience at the renovated Frick Museum (NYC) was just great. And the air conditioning was cool.

This is the Garden Court--alas, no pictures allowed inside of things like Vermeer, Rembrandt and Turner.

The $5 for a small bottle of spring water from a vendor outside was not so cool. That's NYC. But Manhattan was in fine form & Central Park was alive with people enjoying the day, just packed. That's also NYC

🚨👀 Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 have seriously considered Mario #Frick in recent days. However, a transfer will not materialise.

He is under contract with FC Luzern until 2026. Many teams have their eye on him.

Art can help remind US and Europe of special relationship, says director of reopening Frick Collection

After a $220m five-year renovation, the New York museum is set to showcase a trove of European masterpieces

The Guardian

The Frick Re-opens on April 17.
This museum was once the home of Mr Frick. The house has largely remained as it was. I felt I was entering a home vs a museum. As a young boy, I was able to visit my aunt in NYC and avoid the chaos at home, but I had to go to at least one museum. I was last there in 1995 but am making a trip to NYC in April to view the huge renovation that is nearing completion. I am excited!

Pittsburgh originally had two public conservatories,
both established by Henry Phipps, Jr.,
childhood friend of Andrew Carnegie
and second largest shareholder in Carnegie Steel.

In 1886, Phipps donated $25,000 to establish a glasshouse in his hometown of #Allegheny #City
—today’s North Side.

This first Phipps Conservatory became a very popular destination.
It has undergone many iterations,
and we know the site today as the National Aviary.

The 9-room Phipps Conservatory in Oakland’s #Schenley #Park opened in December 1893 as another gift from Henry Phipps, Jr.
—this time to the City of Pittsburgh.

It showcased many plants that had been on display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

THE FRICK GREENHOUSE

The #Frick #Greenhouse was built in 1897
when Mr. Frick hired the Pittsburgh architectural firm of Alden & Harlow to add to his estate.

It wasn’t the first such structure at Clayton, but this new one was meant to be a showpiece.

According to the papers “no expense was spared” and it was described as " . . . one of the most modern public or private ones in the state of Pennsylvania, and possibly in the United States.”

Alden & Harlow worked with Lord & Burnham, an American company
renowned for its conservatory design.

Among other efforts, The New York state-based Lord & Burnham created the Schenley Phipps buildings,
worked on the Golden Gate Conservatory,
and designed the conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden.

Glass houses like the Frick building were often built of durable cypress or white pine, with structural elements of iron or steel.

The glass house on the Frick property has been part of the visitor experience since The Frick Pittsburgh opened to the public in 1990.
