Fort Tryon Park, New York
Don't think you can't venture off the beaten path in crowded New York City. Deep in a wooded park near Manhattan's northern tip is The Cloisters Museum and Gardens, one of the city's most fascinating attractions.
A branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cloisters Museum and Gardens is the country's only museum that is devoted exclusively to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Surrounded by medieval gardens, five monastery-inspired buildings—with stone arches, columns and other elements from actual medieval structures—house a Romanesque chapel, statuary and crucifixes, a 12th-century apse brought from Spain, and hundreds of other rarities. Best known of these are the magnificent "Unicorn Tapestries" woven circa 1495–1505.
If the tranquil museum is an escape from the clamor of America's largest city, so is its location: a 66-acre park overlooking the shimmering Hudson River.
Open Tues.–Sun. except major winter holidays. Admission charged.

修道院的博物馆和花园【读者文摘】——venessa版
纽约，曼哈顿北端翠亨堡
如果你生活在纽约这个拥挤的城市，冒险走进一些破败的小径，这可是一件经常发生的事情。当你深入走进位于曼哈顿北部附近一个树木繁茂的花园，你会看到一座修道院的博物馆和花园——世界上最迷人的景点之一。
作为大都市艺术博物馆的一个分支，这座修道院博物馆和花园是这个国家唯一的一个博物馆，它主要采用了中世纪欧洲的艺术和建筑风格。博物馆四周被一片花园围绕，由五幢富有灵感的修道院大楼组成，每座大楼都采用了石拱门、圆柱形和其它来自于真实的中世纪建筑结构。同时，这些大楼中还拥有罗马式教堂、雕像、十字架、12世纪从西班牙购买的拱点，以及成千上百的稀世珍宝。其中，最著名的当数于1495-1505年间编织的“独角兽挂毯”。
如果说这座宁静的修道院博物馆远离了美国这个大城市的喧嚣，那么它的位置便可以定位于：一个66英亩的公园，在这里可以俯看到闪闪发光的哈得逊河。
