The Cloisters

Way, way up at nearly the northernmost point of Manhattan is the Cloisters Museum, a collection of medieval art in a setting designed to recreate the original context in which the art would have been displayed. It's pretty amazing, and hard to believe you're on the same island, in the same city that holds Times Square. As part of the bus ride assignment for Applications, we had to ride the M5 bus to 175th street, and since we were so close to the museum we decided to check it out.
