The Met Cloisters

Nestled in the picturesque Fort Tryon Park, The Met Cloisters is a hidden gem that transports visitors to medieval Europe without leaving New York City. This branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is America’s only museum dedicated exclusively to the art and architecture of the Middle Ages. As you explore the museum’s enchanting gardens, reconstructed cloisters, and stunning collection of medieval art, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. The museum’s unique architecture, which incorporates elements from five medieval French cloisters, creates a truly immersive experience. Don’t miss the famous Unicorn Tapestries or the breathtaking views of the Hudson River from the museum’s terraces. After your visit, take advantage of the surrounding park for a picnic or a leisurely stroll – it’s the perfect way to reflect on the medieval marvels you’ve just encountered. The Met Cloisters offers a serene escape from the bustling city and a chance to connect with centuries of art and history in a truly magical setting.
