Get Medieval On Your Ass

by

Medieval Times were not the way we think they were. They were dirty and gross and smelly. That doesn’t come across in the movies. What does come across and holds true is that the artwork was spectacular.

Go back in time at The Cloisters. Located steps from Fort Tryon Park, the Cloisters will make you feel kinda monkish. You can view illuminated manuscripts (that means that they have pretty, decorative script–they don’t light up), stained glass windows, and religious paintings.

The be-all, end-all of exhibits is the Unicorn Tapestries. They are beyond gorgeous. Go before the weather turns yucky.
