The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park and Lunch

Tuesday August 27, 2024

Enjoy a guided tour of this magnificent collection.  The Met Cloisters is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan, on a spectacular four-acre lot overlooking the Hudson River, the modern museum building is not a copy of any specific medieval structure but is rather an ensemble informed by a selection of historical precedents, with a deliberate combination of ecclesiastical and secular spaces arranged in chronological order. Elements from medieval cloisters—Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, Trie-sur-Baïse, Froville, and elements once thought to have come from Bonnefont-en-Comminges—and from other sites in Europe have been incorporated into the fabric of the building.  A delicious Italian  Lunch will be enjoyed prior to the Cloisters in Union City.

Package includes   motor coach transportation, admission, guided tour, lunch, driver's gratuity and leader.
