POSTPONED: Explore the Cloisters

Patrick Hornbeck, Ph.D., chair of Fordham’s Department of Theology, will lead a very special tour of the Met Cloisters, America’s only museum dedicated exclusively to the art and architecture of the Middle Ages. Including a museum and gardens within a single complex, the Cloisters picturesquely overlooks the Hudson River in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan and derives its name from the portions of five medieval cloisters incorporated into a modern museum structure. Designed to evoke the architecture of the later Middle Ages, the Met Cloisters creates an integrated and harmonious context in which visitors can experience the rich tradition of medieval artistic production, including metalwork, painting, sculpture, and textiles.

After the tour we will eat lunch at a nearby restaurant, location TBD.

Professor Hornbeck will share his expertise with us throughout the day.

The cost of this event is $70 per person and includes both the tour and lunch.

A reminder email with additional information will be sent one week prior to the event.
