The Cloisters is the Met's medieval branch, an absolutely magical place perched in Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan. The building incorporates authentic elements from five European medieval cloisters, creating a medieval monastery atmosphere that transports you out of time. The museum's star is the famous Unicorn Tapestries series (15th century). Medieval gardens, Hudson views and the tranquility make it one of New York's best-kept secrets.
