	Frye Art Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Frye Art Museum is an art museum located on Seattle, Washington, USA's First Hill.

		The Fryes, who had no children, directed that their estate be used to build and maintain a free public art museum to display their beloved collection.

		Seventy years ago the large commercial and residential area on the west side of Monroe known as Fryelands was the site of the 1200-acre Frye Lettuce Farm, which was the backbone of the local economy during the Depression.
		Frye also bought part of the Austin farm to become the largest landowner in what was then called "Lettuceton." But much of the land was still heavily forested or in peat bog thick with wild cranberry where if you walked through it the water would come over the shoe tops.
		Over the next several years the land was cleared and cultivated, and by 1933, the Frye Lettuce Farm was the backbone of the local economy shipping up to 17 cars daily and employing up to one thousand workers from up and down the valley including a large contingent of Filipinos.

		Charles Frye was a wealthy businessman from Seattle who left money and an extensive collection of art in his will for the creation of an art museum for the Seattle public.
		“As a visual arts institution, the museum is committed to stimulate, challenge and educate the community in all that it does,” states the museum’s mission statement.
		I find the pieces in the Frye more appealing than those displayed at the SAM because the exhibitions are not reflective of our society as shown by the exaggerated media, but instead, focus on the subtle realities exposed through tastefully innovative artwork.

		According to Held, the reevaluation hinges on a new mission statement that broadens the museum's approach to representational art.

		Exhibit spaces should allow the visitor an atmosphere of relatively pure visual perception for viewing the art while at the same time preventing damage to the artwork from unacceptably high levels of light.
		The result shows that the Frye Art Museum has relatively lower light levels when compared to other museums we visited in the region, even in the clerestory gallery, with the highest recorded levels.
		However, the darker spaces at the Frye is found to be a pleasant change from comparable galleries, at least in an empirical sense, that the general ambiance is enhanced.
