The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is located in Fort Tryon Park in New York City. Established in 1938, it is dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe. The museum features an extensive collection of medieval artifacts, including tapestries, sculptures, and illuminated manuscripts, housed in a building designed to evoke a medieval European monastery. Highlights include the Unicorn Tapestries and the Annunciation Triptych by Robert Campin. The Cloisters offers a serene setting, dynamic exhibitions, and educational programs, making it a unique cultural institution.
