A Medieval Treasure in Modern New York

The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dedicated to showcasing the art and architecture of medieval Europe. The museum is located in Upper Manhattan and is surrounded by lush gardens and greenery. Upon entering the museum, visitors are transported to a different era. The collection includes intricate tapestries, stunning stained glass windows, and detailed sculptures. The museum also has a beautiful courtyard, which provides a peaceful escape from the bustling city. Compared to the modern skyscrapers and technology-driven attractions I have visited in New York, The Cloisters provides a refreshing change of pace and perspective.
