The Cloisters Museum branch of the Metropolitan Museum is sure to give you a taste of life in Medieval Europe.  The moment visitors step foot on the grounds of the Cloister Museum, they will feel as though they have arrived in another country. Located at 190^th street in Manhattan, the Cloisters Museum displays genuine medieval European art, enclosed by authentic medieval architecture. Parts of the museum building have been transported from various places throughout Europe, incorporating a plethora of architectural styles and coming together to form a truly unique building. One aspect of the Cloisters Museum that is a “must-see” is the unicorn exhibit. Floor to ceiling tapestries cover the walls, telling the story of a unicorn. Although the tapestries might appear to simply be paintings of a unicorn in various settings, they come together tell an unexpectedly complex and detailed story of the journey and life of a unicorn.  The museum is embellished with traditional medieval fountains along with plant-filled gardens, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.  Water falls from the fountain, contributing a relaxed sound, further enhancing the mood of the museum.  Not only is the Cloisters Museum very informative and engaging, but it is the ideal place to go to relax in one of the serene gardens.
