| Sue and Lynn with cool columns |
Lynn and her sister Sue visited last week-end. One of the cool things we did was go up to the Cloisters. I am sure you know, but if you don't remember, I will refresh your memory. The Cloisters is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met).
.
It was created, and later donated, by John Rockefeller. He purchased a number of different pieces of Gothic European Religious Art in Europe. He had the Cloisters built to house the collection and, in some instances, to be built with the collection.

A "cloister" is technically a walkway that is enclosed on three sides, often around a courtyard. Mr. Rockefeller purchased a number of the columns for cloisters and had them built at the top of Manhattan.

It has beautiful art, and it was a kick to go with Sue and Lynn.
