Event Details
Join us on Zoom for a fascinating look at The Cloisters, a unique branch of the MET, located in Fort Tryon Park. Designed to evoke a European medieval monastery, this remarkable museum incorporates architectural elements from historic French and Spanish structures.
Discover the beauty of the cloister gardens, thoughtfully planted with herbs and flowers used in medieval cooking, medicine, and fabric dyeing—especially for the renowned Unicorn Tapestries. This virtual tour will also showcase the museum’s rich collection of medieval treasures, including paintings, sculptures, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, carved ivories, and enamels, offering a vivid glimpse into life in the Middle Ages.
