The Cloisters | NY

The Cloisters of NYC is a complex built from and modeled after medieval monasteries. The visionary and monetary source behind the enterprise was Ohio native John D. Rockefeller. Owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, its collection of over 5,000 is focused on medieval art ranging from 9th century tapestries to 15th century stained glass, and other works of art. Located in the northern end of Manhattan, it's well worth the short trip when in the city.
