Hello, Hope everyone is having a relaxing summer. Recently made a
visit to the Cloisters NYC with a few friends for the costume exhibit.
Was so impressed with the display and beautiful details of the costumes. I am trying to get back there
before the exhibit is over. I'm pretty sure it runs to October 2018.
If you want a enjoyable day out with friends, make it to the cloisters. Visit their wonderful restaurant for lunch.
Ciao!
The Costume Institute's spring 2018 exhibition—at The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters—features a dialogue between fashion and medieval art from The Met collection to examine fashion's ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism.
Serving as the cornerstone of the exhibition, papal robes and accessories from the Sistine Chapel sacristy, many of which have never been seen outside The Vatican, are on view in the Anna Wintour Costume Center. Fashions from the early twentieth century to the present are shown in the Byzantine and medieval galleries, part of the Robert Lehman Wing, and at The Met Cloisters.

The Met Cloisters, located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, is the branch of the Museum dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe. Deriving its name from the medieval cloisters that form the core of the building, it presents a harmonious and evocative setting for more than 2,000 exceptional artworks and architectural elements from the medieval West.
