The Met Cloisters

The Met Cloisters, a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an unparalleled institution dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Established in 1938, its most striking feature is its unique architecture, meticulously reassembled from four French cloisters dismantled and transported to New York. Visitors are transported to a medieval European monastery, experiencing the serene beauty of its five main cloisters: Saint-Guilhem, Bonnefont en Comminges, Trie, and the Spanish Cloisters, each surrounding tranquil medieval gardens that evoke monastic life. Beyond its architectural marvels, the museum houses significant collections, including iconic works like Robert Campin's "Annunciation."
