The Cloisters museum and gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, was assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that date from the twelfth through the fifteenth century.
The building and its cloistered gardens—located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan—are treasures in themselves, effectively part of the collection housed there. The Cloisters' collection comprises approximately three thousand works of art from medieval Europe, dating from about the ninth to the sixteenth century.

Beautiful images all Carraol, the light in the B&W's is perfect!
Buenos detalles de unos sitios que normalmente suelen estar repletos de historias con muchos sitios para fotografiar.
Un abrazo.
though i've always wanted to stop here i've never pulled it off. at least not yet. these images increase my longing to get there someday.
Que buen grupo de imagenes Carraol!
The varied images give a wonderful peek into the Cloisters and what's available to see. I like the introductory photo because of the bright sunshine.
Smashing! The second photo is simply gorgeous - what a light!
Dear Carraol,
photos in black and white as always, are extraordinary!
This preference for monochrome is common to the appreciation of the great photographers and light texture. You are an extraordinary photographer and could not escape this rule!
A big hug
