Paired stone columns around a planted garth, terracotta roofs, the works hung in the shade of the covered walks.
The Met Cloisters opened in 1938 in Fort Tryon Park at the north end of Manhattan. John D. Rockefeller Jr. paid for the building and the park, and he bought the New Jersey Palisades across the river to keep the view. Charles Collens designed the museum around pieces of five medieval French cloisters. It holds the Unicorn Tapestries.

Arcades of paired columns with carved capitals, a quartered herb garden with a central fountain, terracotta tiled lean to roofs. Mood: garden light. Everything is procedural geometry with painted surfaces; nothing is a scan or a photograph. The room is an interpretation, and it hangs the New Yorkers the census recorded at this place first.
