The Met Cloisters
Art Museum · New York, New York
A branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a bluff above the Hudson in Fort Tryon Park, opened in 1938 and built around architectural elements of five French medieval cloisters shipped stone by stone across the Atlantic. John D. Rockefeller Jr paid for it, gave the park, and also bought the New Jersey Palisades opposite so that the view from it could never be built on.
