Frick Fine Arts Building, Fine arts museum and library at University of Pittsburgh, United States.

The Frick Fine Arts Building contains classrooms, art galleries, a cloister, and a research library with over 90,000 volumes and 350 journal subscriptions.

Helen Clay Frick funded the construction between 1962 and 1965 to honor her father Henry Clay Frick, a Pittsburgh industrialist and art collector.

The Nicholas Lochoff Cloister displays precise reproductions of Italian Renaissance masterpieces, commissioned by the Moscow Museum of Fine Arts in 1911.

Located at 650 Schenley Drive in Pittsburgh, the building serves both the Department of History of Art and Architecture and Department of Studio Arts.

The entrance fountain was created by Victor Brenner, the same sculptor who designed the Lincoln portrait on the United States penny.
