The Cloisters

This weekend, we decided to head uptown to visit The Cloisters. This is part of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it houses their collection of Medieval European Art. It sits inside Fort Tyron Park, which is on the very northern tip of Manhattan (I think it starts around 191st street).
The building itself is composed of 5 different French Cloisters put together to form the museum. It's really pretty amazing the job they did making a seamless structure. It reminded us a lot of the places we visited in Europe. Also, it was a beautiful day, so just sitting and relaxing in the courtyards or on the terraces looking over the Hudson River was a nice way to pass the afternoon.
The museum itself is probably best known for its collection of the "Unicorn Tapestries". However, there are a lot of other great pieces there and they even have some collections of horticulture (they tried to recreate the gardens of the varies French Cloisters).
