I am working on a Master's thesis on The Cloisters and how it's a unique take on art.

She was paying her respects to something that was as real to her as it had been to her fellow human beings 700 years ago.Renéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695269245374471660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-77044212655399263302011-06-10T10:57:51.788-04:002011-06-10T10:57:51.788-04:00So tranquil and peaceful.

The first time I visited there was on my first trip to New York, and it felt almost disconcertingly not connected to the city. On subsequent visits, I've come to embrace its quiet separateness.Terry at Blue Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13504693954312787975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-24507622655030262052011-06-09T22:39:34.973-04:002011-06-09T22:39:34.973-04:00This is one more reminder that I absolutely MUST g...This is one more reminder that I absolutely MUST go to the Cloisters some time . . .Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-42568015504089562372011-06-09T16:09:54.167-04:002011-06-09T16:09:54.167-04:00This is such a wonderful place.
