Friedrich Froebel:
His Life, Times and Significance

The Froebel Gallery brings a selection of the best fine art in the world to Albany, the Capital District of New York and our national and international patrons.

The Froebel Gallery continues a tradition of more than two hundred years of promoting the humanities, the arts, and education. Following the philosophy of Friedrich Froebel, who professed the positive nature of diversity, the Gallery presents fine art in a variety of styles and media.
