The Cloisters

The Cloisters is 'n museum in Fort Tryon Park in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York, wat op Europese Middeleeuse boukuns, beeldhoukuns en dekoratiewe kunste fokus, waarby die klemtoon op die Romaanse en Gotiese stylperiodes val. Die museum, wat deur die Metropolitan Museum of Art (MoMA) bestuur word (en derhalwe dikwels ook The Met Cloisters genoem word), vertoon sy omvattende versameling van Middeleeuse kunswerke in die gerekonstrueerde argitektoniese konteks van Franse kloosters - vandaar ook sy naam.

Die museumkompleks het rondom vier kloosters ontstaan - Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem, Bonnefont en Trie - wat deur die Amerikaanse beeldhouer en kunshandelaar George Grey Barnard (1863–1938) in Europa gekoop is. Hulle is daar tussen 1934 en 1939 uitmekaargehaal en vervolgens na New York verskeep. Die kloosterfragmente is deur die finansier en filantrop John D. Rockefeller, Jr. vir die museum gekoop wat op 'n heuwel bo-oor die Hudsonrivier ontstaan en sy deure op 10 Mei 1938 vir die publiek geopen het. Die kunswerke, wat hier uitgestal word, het hul oorsprong onder meer in die versamelings van J. P. Morgan en Joseph Brummer.

An ocean of cool calm quiet in the middle of the city. There is a requested costly donation but this museum is well worth a visit! Multiple medieval art pieces and actual reconstructed cloisters.

Beautiful place, one of my top 5 places to recommend to friends. Yet, I was robed while climbing the park that leads to the museum. I highly recommend you to take care while getting to the museum.

Perfect day out - feels like a little European time travel, in the midst of the city! Surrounding gardens and view over Hudson are nice for a stroll. Don't miss out on the pingpong tables near A train

The best kept secret in the city and well worth becoming a Met member to visit often. The tours are also great to get a more in depth feel, and the rare exhibits are always incredible.

The tapestry is really intricate and the castle itself is a work of art. The outdoor courtyards are amazing and peaceful. Once you're outside you can go on a variety of scenic walks in the area!

For those who like medieval art it's the place to visit. The cloister's castle was built to show the medieval architecture. Beautiful gardens with plants that were used back than for medicine.
