Home to an extraordinary collection of treasured masterworks, including the famed
Unicorn Tapestries, 'The Cloisters' is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval
Europe. This splendid new guide, published to celebrate The Cloisters' seventy-fifth
anniversary, richly illustrates and describes the most important highlights of its
collection, from paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and exquisitely carved ivories
to its monumental architecture evocative of the grand religious spaces and domestic
interiors of the Middle Ages. 'The Cloisters' remains a testament to design innovation
- a New York City landmark with sweeping views of the Hudson River - featuring original
elements of Romanesque and Gothic architecture dating from the 12th through the 15th
century. Three of the structures enclose beautiful gardens cultivated with species
known from tapestries, medieval herbals, and other historic sources. These exotic
spaces, the art masterpieces, and the fragrant plants offer visitors an oasis of serenity
and inspiration
