Glories of Medieval Art: The Cloisters features The Metropolitan’s branch museum devoted to art created during the Middle Ages. Philippe de Montebello, former Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, escorts viewers through an ensemble of spaces and gardens that evoke the medieval period - from the massive and strong Romanesque period to the light elegance of the Gothic style. The famed Unicorn Tapestries, illuminated manuscripts by the Limbourg brothers, brilliant stained glass windows, Robert Campin’s Annunciation Altarpiece, and scores of precious objects housed in the newly refurbished Treasury are some of the highlights seen in this program.
