UPPER EAST SIDE — Now's your chance to become an art connoisseur.

The Frick CollectionMorgan Library & Museum and Neue Galerie New York are teaming up this summer to create a new $40 pass that gives access to each institution. The pass would normally cost $60.

The "Connoisseur Pass" can be used anytime between July 1 to Aug. 31 and is good for one visit each at the three museums, officials said.

The passes can only be bought at one of the three museums' ticket offices.

The museum's admission price for adults ranges from $20 to $22, but they wanted to provide a benefit to their collective visitor base this summer, explained Neue Galerie spokeswoman Rebecca Lewis.

Here are some of the exhibitions on view this summer:

The Frick Collection: "Fired by Passion: Masterpieces of Du Paquier Porcelain" from the Sullivan Collection; "Divine Encounter: Rembrandt’s Abraham and the Angels"; and "The Pursuit of Immortality: Masterpieces from the Scher Collection of Portrait Medals."

► The Morgan Library & Museum: "Henry James and American Painting,"; "This Ever New Self: Thoreau and His Journal"; "Noah's Beasts: Sculpted Animals from Ancient Mesopotamia"; and "Poussin, Claude, and French Drawing in the Classical Age."

Neue Galerie New York: "Austrian Masterworks" and works by Richard Gerstl.
