Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio
Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio, Modernist art museum in Lenox, United States.
Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio is a Bauhaus structure with white geometric forms, glass blocks, and clean architectural lines set within a 46-acre estate. The property combines living quarters with artist studios and includes access to the surrounding gardens and landscape.
George Morris built the Bauhaus studio house in 1930, which Suzy Frelinghuysen expanded with a residence in 1941. This addition allowed the artist couple to live and work together while housing their modern art collection under one roof.
Morris and Frelinghuysen worked together as artists in these spaces, creating abstract paintings and collecting works by their contemporaries. The rooms display their own creations alongside pieces they gathered, reflecting how they lived within their artistic circle.
The property is best visited during warmer months when it operates as a seasonal destination, making pleasant outdoor exploration possible. Comfortable shoes are recommended as the site includes exterior areas and garden pathways to walk through.
The house features original furniture pieces by modern design masters positioned exactly as they were when the residents lived here. Abstract wall paintings are built into the architecture itself, showing how art and living space merged into one unified design.
