The Met Cloisters, situated in Fort Tryon Park, is full of European medieval art and architecture, with a focus on the Romanesque and Gothic periods.

Governed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it contains a large collection of medieval artworks shown in the architectural settings of French monasteries and abbeys.

Its buildings are centered around four cloisters.

Thank you for traveling with us around the art of New York City.

I'll spare you all the visit to the New York Natural History Museum, with its meteorites, dinosaur bones, the history of the indigenous peoples of the world (fascinating!), birds, and our solar system and The Big Bang.

Had such a wonderful time!

Am grateful to be home again, with Sweetie head-bunting my chin in the middle of the night, Manny always trying to jump onto the kitchen counters, and Chili Bruce licking out my oatmeal bowl every morning.

The Hubby kept Eastside Cats in purrfect running order while I was away; guess he's a keeper!
❤️❤️❤️

  9. In one of my sets of encyclopaedia (the one from the 1970s), I have a colour picture of that unicorn tapestry. It must be incredible to see it in person.
