It’s literally a slice of Europe in the United States, and feels like it. But extravagant is exactly the word I would use to describe the man that later acquired them for the museum: John D. The whole concept of picking something like this up and dropping it in Manhattan is a little extravagant to say the least. It contains four cloisters that were dismantled in Europe and brought on over to their new home in Manhattan. It has a ton of medieval-era art and artifacts.
The Met Cloisters is a museum that’s a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We checked out the grounds, but weren’t too interested in going in.ĭyckman Farmhouse The Met Cloisters What they are and how they got to NYC It definitely stands out from the 6-7 floor apartment buildings that are everywhere in this area. You also can check out Dyckman Farmhouse before heading to the Cloisters if you’re into old houses/furniture. Their typical hours of operation are from March–October: 10 am–5 pm and November–February: 10 am–4:30 pm. The Met Cloisters are just south of the subway station. It’s around a half hour from Times Square. You take the A train straight to Dyckman Street. It’s quite easy to get up to the Met Cloisters. All in all a great local OR tourist adventure! Getting There
That’s what we did this past weekend and we got to visit the Met Cloisters, the beautiful Fort Tryon Park, and walk across the George Washington Bridge. If you go far enough, you get to Inwood/ Washington Heights and the George Washington Bridge area. I’ve even heard anything below 60th! But of course Manhattan is a loooong island that reaches up into the 200s. Sometimes New Yorkers think of Manhattan as whatever is below 125th.
