Description
The Cloisters in New York City, a division of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, houses the finest collection of medieval art in America. In this virtual tour, we’ll survey a range of objects, from life-like statues and stained-glass images of biblical figures and saints, to golden reliquaries and jeweled Gospel books. We’ll step inside, so to speak, the chapels and monastic cloisters – whose stones were transported from Spain and France to New York in the early 20th century – to gain an experience of the architectural and spiritual setting for much of medieval art.
