The Met Cloisters
The Cloisters house the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s
collection of art and architecture from medieval Europe. Best
known for the beautiful tapestries on display, the Cloisters
also offer architectural installations, a series of special
programs, and fantastic views of the Hudson.
“Located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in
northern Manhattan’s Fort Tryon Park, the building
incorporates elements from five medieval French
cloisters–quadrangles enclosed by a roofed or vaulted
passageway, or arcade–and from other monastic sites in
southern France. Three of the cloisters reconstructed at the
branch museum feature gardens planted according to
horticultural information found in medieval treatises and
poetry, garden documents and herbals, and medieval works of
art, such as tapestries, stained-glass windows, and column
capitals. Approximately five thousand works of art from
medieval Europe, dating from about A.D. 800 with particular
emphasis on the twelfth through fifteenth century, are
exhibited in this unique and sympathetic context.”
Special Programs
There are frequent lectures and programs which are free with
admission. There are also regular workshops for children aged
4-12 and their families. For the music lover, the Cloisters
offers occasional concerts.
