Description
The Cloisters Museum and gardens is a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, and assembled from religious architectural elements that largely date between the 12th through the 15th century. The Cloisters is situated on a hill overlooking the Hudson River and incorporates parts of five European abbeys, which were purchased and disassembled in their original countries in Europe and then shipped to New York City. Between 1934 and 1939, they were carefully reconstructed and integrated with some new buildings purposely designed in the medieval style by Charles Collens.
Today, the Cloisters Museum (also called the Manhattan Cloisters) contains a collection of approximately 5,000 European medieval works of art. The 66.5-acre area around the buildings is landscaped with gardens that were planted according to horticultural information obtained from medieval manuscripts.
