I went to PS 87. Hahaha Whoa. Small world. We were too far away to have eschool trips to the Cloisters.

I think I have been blessed to be able to visit The Cloisters,no words to describe its magnificence

What he didn't say was that this huge Tapestry took 40 years of restoration !!! some people spent their entire Professional lives working on it !! There is a film on YT about it.

Stephanie Murray: Yes, I have seen that film,too, and the story of its conservation is fascinating.

Inspiring. Fifty five years ago at the age of 14 I visited the cloisters with my mother and brothers. Another reason for loving my mother who realized the importante of shaping our spirits in great art. Congratulations de the Met. Hopefully I will return.

I visited just once, in college. Watching this video, I realized how much the architecture (layout of stairs, chapels, halls, etc.) has permeated my dreams--I have walked through these spaces more than once since my actual visit.

I love art. I seek it out wherever I go. I have been so fortunate in my life to have seen some amazing museums including this one. A fantastic place that is away from usual museum row in NYC. Too bad the didn't show the treasury room. The gold and silver works there are awe inspiring. If you go to NYC, this museum is should be on your agenda.

Thank you for making this available for us to enjoy from afar! Soooo lovely!

This was one of the muséums I visited in NY and found it so easy to get to. I have wonderful memories of this visit, so peaceful and gracious.

Amazing place. I didn’t know the Ft Tryon Park area was so beautiful. You don’t even feel like you are in NYC

Wonderful... I love medieval art.

I was lucky enough to grow up nearby and spent many days enjoying the museum, summer and winter. It inspired me as well. I hope you do get a chance to visit again.

Sounds absolutely lovely

This exhibit took my breath away with its Beauty And transported me to a quiet place of refuge. It is difficult to imagine that this place exists in N.Y. Thank you for posting I have enjoyed many visits to the Met.

Thank you for this beautiful tour. Memories abound from a childhood spent in Washington heights and return as a young mother.

Stunning! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!

A remarkable video, thank you for posting. I also have a great childhood memory visiting the Cloisters. Simply put, it is miraculous in every way.

This is one of the places I'll visit on my first trip back home in 35 years this fall.

I like art made in Europe during the Middle Ages. My favorite ones are the unicorn tapestries.

At 8:50 You had to wait so long? The Royal Manufacturers De Wit was founded in 1889. Yvan Maes De Wit, its present director, represents the fourth generation of tapestry restorers and dealers of fine antique tapestrieThe Royal Manufacturers cleans, conserves and restores tapestries. It is today’s the leading restorer of tapestries in the world for museums and one of the leading restorers for private customers. The Royal Manufacturers De Wit is situated in Mechelen (Flanders) " Nice site"

Beautiful!

The Cloisters took twenty years of work. Junion Rockefeller had "great vision and planning" in his gift ( The Cloisters )

absolutely wonderful and a great place to be very interesting and beautiful

"This was the early day's of oil painting, whitch was kind of a new invention at this point " Yes that is true. It was Robert Campin 'The master of Flémalle' (Mérode tripliek) (Flemish) who invented this technique but it was Jan and Hubert Van Eyck (Flemish) they made the technique commercial and popular . Ever heard of "the Flemish Primitives"

Thank you for the tour. A couple comments on the production...why are some of the shots of the art and artifacts not shot with the tripod? Unsteady shots of artwork take away from the art. Also, many of the tight shots of artwork and artifacts are very short offering little time to appreciate them. And the piece could have used more dissolves between shots. Cloisters are places to slow down and reflect. Unfortunately this documentary felt rushed. Not sure why that had to be.

welcome to golgumbaz, bijapur, South, india

Our dusty body remains will rot away into the earth when we pass on, but our souls will be forever with God.

Perhaps. But each stone of the Cloisters on the Hudson River was brought in ships and put together as if it had stood there since the Middle Ages.

Eloise rubs a leaf of spearmint across her teeth awaiting Abelard... sigh to have a time machine

WTF ! The Southern Netherlands . That is "Flanders" Famous for his tapesteries .

Temporary dust buddies buried on earth, but soulful & eternal buddies in Heaven.

I love how Joseph has a turban on his head, but the streets have medieval british buildings XD historical accuracy had not been discovered yet :""""""D

I love how instead of saying uh during pauses, he simply stays silent for a few seconds. We should all do that. Saying uhhh gets annoying

I'm here because of the web-quest my teacher assigned

The Musee de Cluny, National Museum of The Middle Ages - Paris ,Is better, more real.
