It took me over an hour to get to the Cloisters which is just north of Fort Tyron Park at nearly the very end of the island of Manhattan. The Cloisters is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and includes their tremendous amount of ancient and medieval architecture, paintings and sculptures. I spent a good deal of time there looking at the incredibly old pieces of art, walking around the castle grounds, and trying to take in the surroundings and understand just how much effort and talent it took to create this space, so far from the city.
