New York City (NYC) Walking Tour - The Cloisters

The Cloisters Museum & Gardens-Fort Tryon Park NYC 
 
Have you ever wanted to escape from New York City for the day? Then I would suggest the Cloisters museum and gardens a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art that is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. The building and its cloistered gardens are located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan. An area which overlooks the Palisades in New Jersey, giving Fort Tryon Park a country like feel. The collection assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that date from the twelfth through the fifteenth century and comprises approximately three thousand works of art from medieval Europe, dating from about the ninth to the sixteenth century.
