The Frelinghuysen Morris House and Studio in Lenox, Massachusetts is a historic house museum formerly belonging to American Abstract Artists George L.K. Morris and Suzy Frelinghuysen. The studio was built in Bauhaus style in 1930 by Morris and his friend George Sanderson. The house was added in 1941, designed by John Butler Swann.[1] The house and studio were entered onto the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.[2]

The house contains furnishings and decorations unchanged since the couple's lifetime. The art collection includes cubist frescoes and paintings by Morris and Frelinghuysen, as well as works by Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Georges Braque, Joan Miro and Henri Matisse.[3][4]
