a wider view
of the Cloisters Museum in NYC
The Cloisters was built in the early 1930's. The museum was designed to exhibit medieval architecture and works of art that were created during the Middle Ages. Three men were responsible for this museum: George Grey Bernard, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and James Ruramor. Portions of four medieval cloisters have been integrated into the museum to create an exhibition of medieval sculpture, metalwork, tapestries, stained glass, manuscripts, and paintings. The two major periods of the Middle Ages were the Romanesque period, the year 1000 to 1150, and the Gothic period, dating 1150 to 1520 (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/cloister1.html).

So ist das Museum natürlich weit besser zu sehen,da ist fast alles frei. Die Steinmauer ist sehr gut gemauert worden, da ging nicht nur um Qualität, sondern auch nach dem Aussehen. Rein von den Gemäuern sieht das Ganze schon prächtig aus,
und nicht sehr alt. (1930er Jahren)
Tschüssing gemblue,
