poster for The Cloisters

The Cloisters, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, was assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that date from the twelfth through the fifteenth century. The building and its cloistered gardens—located in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan—are treasures in themselves, effectively part of the collection housed there. View highlights from The Cloisters: sculpture, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, goldsmiths' and silversmiths' work, stained glass, enamels, ivories, and more.
