Synopsis
By Peter Barnet and Nancy Wu The Cloisters Museum and Gardens is a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Long cherished as a world-cl museum, its several gardens feature plants, fruit trees, and useful herbs familiar from the collection's medieval tapestries and other works of art. Among the masterworks of medieval religious and domestic life housed in The Cloisters are exceptional examples of carved ivory, illuminated manuscripts, stained gl, silver- and goldsmiths' work, and tapestries, including the famous Unicorn in Captivity. This guide, richly illustrated with 175 color pictures, offers a broad introduction to the remarkable history of The Cloisters as well as a lively and informative discussion of the treasures within.
