Museums are one of my passions. As far as this one goes, it's spectacular. Small in stature but packed with a multitude of original works, a few reproductions and personal mementos of the artist, Frank Frazetta. If you're not familiar with his name you've certainly seen some of his art. He was an illustrator and painter whose themes included fantasy and science fiction. His works can be seen on paperback covers, in comic books, album covers and posters. He has worked with Presidents and the Hollywood elite. The museum is run by his son Frank Frazetta Jr and Frank Jr's family. The tour was given by Laura, Frank Sr's daughter in law. His grandchildren work the gift shop counter. The grounds surrounding the museum are private property where Frank lived with his wife, Eleanor. As far as museum experiences go, this was one of my absolute favorites! Having the family telling the history of his life and works was an added bonus you rarely get. As Laura was speaking of her father in law, you got a sense of his humility and love for his family. What a gem, located in the picturesque Pocono Mountain area! Stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Interesting family run museum. Not very big but well curated and full of Frazetta original art and history. Definitely take the tour from one of his relatives. Not often that you can get this close to multi-million dollar art and observe so much about one artist. read more

I traveled 4hr to see this museum. I was not disappointed. It's well managed with a cheerful and helpful staff, plus it was extremely clean. Because it's a family museum, all the staff were related and had personal stories of Mr Frazetta, which made the tour worthwhile. You really do not have to be a fan to enjoy and admire his body of work. The gift shop is stocked with items that will make the visit memorable. They have books, coins, stickers, loose and framed print, Tshirts and hoodies and mugs as well. Be sure to ask about the tour, it's worthwhile. read more

So the rule at the museum is that if you take photos of the art, a person also has to be in the photo. So here's a bunch of photos of me with the art. This is a large room filled with Frank Frazetta art: originals, sketches, old and newer. It was cool to see how he was able to do different styles for different projects. There's also a gift shop and an opportunity to buy a lot of prints. You can go through the museum on your own, or with a guided tour by one of his family members. The entire museum is family-curated. I wouldn't say that I am a fan, in general, but this definitely gave me a new appreciation for his talent. read more

Original artwork, knowledgeable and friendly guide, and a variety of memorabilia for purchase!

Everything. Fantastic artist. Amazing work. Phenomenal story. Such a great museum. The art and staff were such a pleasure. The family is so welcoming and offers a great perspective of the art, the artist and his timeline. Such a beautiful museum, very clean and appealing. I strongly recommend for any art enthusiast, heavy metal comic lover, barbarian lover and just overall like to look at superb oils, sketches and designs kind of person. read more

Historically significant small museum. Frank Frazetta revolutionized the art industry for illustrators. As an art lover, I really appreciated my visit to this museum, despite my lack of love for fantasy/science fiction art. We probably stayed slightly less than an hour, not feeling the need to study every work of art in the room. All the art is in one large room. It is a wonderful experience to be given a tour of the museum by one of the artist's own relatives. The guided part of the tour lasts maybe 10 minutes. Then you wander around at your own pace and focus on what interests you the most. This museum is a hidden gem. read more

Have visited the Poconos many times. What a find this was. If you're at all interested in fantasy science fiction art this is a must. read more

To come here, you must have loved his work. He's considered to be the FATHER of fantasy art. When you come and see his work, it is evident. You see his work mimicked in movies, video games, books and TV shows. I was put onto him by my BF who is a huge fan. I brought him here as a surprise so he can take a closer look at his art. We stayed for almost 3 hours just admiring everything he's done. It's spectacular! I appreciate all that he's brought to the genre. We are considered to be on the younger generation...Frank's son and daughter were kind of surprised we came there on our own volition. I'm a comic book collector and ended up buying all of his comic books. By the end of the whole thing, we bought t-shirts, patches and books. It was pretty awesome. It's nice to see that Frank Frazetta's legacy is kept alive by his children and grand children. He should get more credit for his work... I recommend coming here. It's inspiring. read more

The Frazetta family has done an amazing job preserving the significant contributions to illustrated art their patriarch made. Their love and passion for Frank's art comes through in all the details of this fascinating museum. read more

For those of you that grew up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E Howard, or played D&D, this is a must-see. It's fantastic. The personal story, given by M.s Franzetta, is great - really, I am so happy I took the time to visit and experience the exhibits. I will definitely come back. read more

For the past few years after Frank's death, the museum has been closed On May 17th the grand reopening was held. I was lucky enough to be one of the first 50 (#49) to visit on this weekend. Visitors on the 17th and 18th were given free admission (donation was appreciated), a limited edition ticket (which would be signed and sealed) and treated to some snacks and drinks. For someone who is a fan of Frazetta's work, this museum is a thing of beauty. The museum is located in Stroudsburg, PA and is tucked into the woods. The grounds are beautiful, and the museum sits next to a small pond. There are a few statues on the property of lizards which are interesting touches. The museum is not very large, and I would describe it as quaint. Off to the right is an area where merchandise is sold. As one reviewer stated - bring lots of cash or credit cards. There is some really interesting memorabilia, as well as artwork (reproductions) available for purchase. The museum is filled with many of Frank's greatest paintings, as well as sketches, and pieces of furniture from his home. There is also a display with his camera collection as he was an avid photographer. Although the art is the star of the museum, I can't say enough about the hosts, Frank Frazetta Jr. and his wife Lori. They are both exceptionally nice individuals, and are working hard to share the legacy of Frank Frazetta. They were both extremely friendly, and were genuinely interested in the fans and ensuring g they had a great time. I was lucky enough to tour the museum with Frank Jr. for about an hour and a half just chatting and listening to stories about Frank. Like I said, if you are a fan, you need to make the trip as it is well worth it. read more

I need more than 5 stars. Came here with hubby. He has been an admirer of Mr. Frazetta for years. I was not familiar with his works or who he was. Well, we got quite an education from his daughter in law, who is amazingly passionate about her father in law, and his legacy. The museum is wonderful, and her stories and background even made it more amazing. Even if you know nothing about Mr. Frazetta, it is worth the time to go and check it out. What a great time. (Oh, don't ever tell my husband I enjoyed it so much :-)) Thank you for an amazing afternoon. read more

Cant say enough about Frazetta. Fially made it to the new museum and its cool. If yo can nerd out on the stuff you will like it. If not, well you can see alot of cool stuff that got alot of people into art or rock. Met Mrs. F and got a guided tour. Make sure you know they are open as they are not all year around. read more

I came to the museum with my fiancé who is a fan. I didn't know much about Frank and his work. We were given a guided tour of the museum by Lori his daughter in law. Her stories and explanations of Frank's work and his mind were wonderful. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed looking at the art and seeing exactly what Lori described. If you are on the fence, take the plunge and visit. You won't be disappointed. Also, the estate is just beautiful. read more

Gem! My husband and I are staying in the area on vacation. We were looking for something to do off the resort and I found this on trip advisor. We walked up to the museum nervous because it's very private and didn't know if we were at the right place. I'm glad we headed on to the door , we knock and a man came to the door. He invited us and and asked if we knew anything about the art collection he had we had no clue so we said no. He proceeds to tell us this is is grandfathers art work and the history behind it all. I was shook I found it extremely incredible and inspiring to see and hear the story the man told. The art work is beautifully done, bright and breathtaking. One of the best adventures my husband and I took. Thank you for the warm welcome keep doing what are your doing. read more

Probably the best birthday gift to myself I have ever given. The only mistake I made was not staying overnight at one of the local "love nest" hotels, so that the wife and I could go to the museum again. Also, if you are a big fan, bring BIG time cash, as there are lots of high dollar items to purchase, a couple of thousand would not be out the ballpark. I went on the three day Memorial day day weekend, and emailed them that we were coming, and I think it sparked some interest from Frank, because HE WAS THERE IN PERSON. We had a personal tour from Frank and spoke with his wife at length, she gave us some great deals on Frazetta posters and prints. read more

A really wonderful place to visit if you are at all interested in the art of Frank Frazetta. The museum is situated on a serene home plot owned by the Frazetta family. When we visited, the museum's proprietor took us on a tour and gave lots of helpful and detailed information about the artist's life and work. I'm very glad I went and would encourage others to go who are in the area! read more

My husband and I are huge fans and supporters of this museum via online and finally in person. The $15 donation is so minimal for the tour, info, personal discussions with family members you get one on one...it is amazing how much you are welcomed and appreciated here. It is truly a work of love. Seeing the artwork in person, the history, progression, etc is mind blowing. Please support this labor of love and making art available for all to enjoy! read more

This was just an amazing experience, and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. If you are a fan of fantasy or sci-fi you need to experience this museum. Frazetta's influence of modern fantasy and geek culture can not be overstated, and his works are just beautiful to see in person. But that really was just half of what makes this museum so special. The experience of meeting Lori and Frank Jr. was what made this visit so perfect. The museum sits next door to where the artist used to live and is a gorgeous estate. We arrived a little after it opened and were met by Lori (Frank Frazetta's daughter-in-law). She was incredibly nice, and it was clear how much she really loved Frank Frazetta both as a human and as an artist. The stories she told of him as a man, and as a grandfather were what really captured me. I have seen Frazetta's works for decades, but this was my first chance to meet someone with such and intimate knowledge of him as a man. She answered all of our questions and she was interested in what had brought us to enjoy Frazetta's works. We were also able to meet Frank Jr. and though we did not get the chance to talk with him as much he was ingratiating and helpful, and could not have been nicer. It was the sort of experience you just don't get in any other museum. If you are in the area, take the time and go. read more

Every fan of fantasy art owes themselves a visit to the Frazetta Museum. The building itself designed by Frazetta houses some of his originals and the tools he used to produce the great masterpieces. Sketches, paintings and relics from his life are on display as well as an amazing store of Frazetta reproductions you can take home. If you're lucky one one of the Frazetta descendants will be your host and can share some of the wonderful stories about Frank's life and works. read more

I visited this place a long while ago with my sister. We were totally blown away by how well all the artwork was exhibited and we got to see our favorite artist's work up close. Pieces that are picture classics to us could be seen within a few inches from our noses. It was a great delight and vibrant inspiration to see everything in real life. We also met Mrs F. and she spent some time with us explaining all the pieces and gave us encouragement. We thank her for her time. read more

First, I have not gone to the museum as of yet but I will as soon as I can. I did buy several items online from their store directly. On my second purchase Lori got in touch and mentioned I basically had a third due to me for free as part of a limited time discount when you get three. Well, I can't say enough about how great Lori was to speak to and to do business with. Now, I simply have to go down to the Museum. Frank Jr. and Lori go so far out of their way to make sure everything is good.. everything is done right - to a degree I've never encountered before.. just perfect. Lori mentioned that after months of the long Covid shutdown, business actually boomed. I suggested it was because, stuck at home, a whole new generation of people happened upon Frank Frazetta's genius. It goes beyond genius. No one could learn or develop into what Frank actually was from day one. No one could come close to what Mr. Frazetta produced effortlessly. I came to find many of his most admired works were actually completed start to finish in just one night. He saw the completed painting in the blank white canvass that was before him. This was before he even lifted the brush. As more and more people begin to fully understand why so many experts suggest Frank Frazetta was a modern day master, appreciation of his art and demand for his work continue to grow exponentially. His son and daughter-in-law's relentless work and dedication to honor him, to continue his legacy is testament that Frank Sr. really seemed to be a great person on top of it all. I just can't say enough. And, I understand these two have not sold (except perhaps one or two to support the museum) any orginal art at all. Well, I run investments for a living and let me tell you, take the rate of appreciation on these incredible works of art over just the last few years, show me even one mutual fund, bank account, bond, CD - whatever - that has provided anything near that return. I'm going to get down there as soon as I can but, in the mean time, personally, I'm stocking up. It's absolutely worth it. I don't feel as though this quality of product is going to be available for long. I also somehow feel morally obligated to support the museum in order to keep Mr. Frazettas vision living on far beyond his own years and long into the future. read more

Although the museum is small, it is a worthwhile experience. Recently reopened, the collection is a mixture of original and reproduction works. It is now run by his son and grandson, the later was our guide (he's a gamer too!). If you are into sci-fi/fantasy art or writing, rpgs. etc. and you happen to be in the Poconos, take an extra couple of hours out of your trip and visit this museum. read more

One of my brothers favorite artists,Jay had been there about 10 or so years ago and met frank's wife Eleanor and heard some great stories His grandson was there today and also told some great stories. we should have hung around longer, So much to absorb all at once so we'll have to go back and look at the artwork again and hear some more stories. We were not disappointed read more

What a place! Frank Jr and his wife are devoted and passionate. Relaxed atmosphere to wander and take it all In. They give you a little tour of franks originals and a layout of what his studio was like. Fantastic gift shop too. Great stories of this amazing man and his legacy. I was there a lot longer than I expected , but could have stayed more. They are so authentic and giving of their time, just a wonderful place in a beautiful setting. Frank would be so proud. Scott read more

Great museum, went with a friend back in November, you may want to call a few days ahead to make sure they will be open. A lot of originals and some high quality prints, frank jr probably spent at least an hour walking around telling us about paintings and sharing stories, even brought some cool stuff out of the back to show us. Painting are very impressive in person. read more
