    Who would think this kind of place existed on Manhattan? A respite from the hustle and bustle in a beautiful site and building. I went for the architecture. If you get there early or stay late then you can shoot the main Cuxa Cloister. Just...More

    Beautiful

    Glorious sunny day at The Met Cloisters

    Unique museum in a gorgeous setting.

    A very unique museum in a beautiful setting. As others have said, take the subway - it was about a 25 minute ride from Columbus Circle. We got off the subway about 9:35 on a Monday, and had a leisurely walk through Fort Tyron Park...More
