Fascinating. I was up at the Cloisters not long ago, oddly, to visit my mother's memories of being a young woman who would go up there to read. It was free then, no entry fee, and they piped in classical music. She's been ill, so I went less to see anything, than to walk through the mist of her memories if I could. I didn't know that about the construction, taken from here and there and reassembled, but it seems to fit, and makes perfect sense why I thought I'd encounter my mother's memories there, even though she's lost them to dementia and lay in a bed in my house miles away. Thanks for sharing these
The cloisters is an amazing place. Been going there since I was a child - and in all the time I’ve lived in NYC, it is still the most un-NYC place I’ve experienced in this city. Great article!
