10/25/14 - Exploring The Cloisters museum with the Buffalo gang

We're in New York City?

Hey cool, nice tower

I guess this is the place

Nice path

This place is really weird when you're reading Anathem

Leaves, shade, curvy paths..

Getting closer to the main building

Lots of nice paths

It's all medieval and stuff

Looking up at the tower

Neat windows. I really like these sort of outside, sort of inside spaces

Looking back down the curvy path

Steve and Megan!

Big dome

All the doorways here are enormous

Vaulted ceilings are cool

Whoa. This room is intense

Let's take a picture!

This door looks so small compared to the other ones

This room feels so empty

This place is like a Math from Anathem.. but for Jesus instead of math.

I don't know how they transferred this fresco to canvas, but this is from the early 1100s. Really old!

More really old frescos

Jesus!

Cool door!

Really old columns!

Another awesome inside/outside space. I need a house like this

I guess this is to let in natural light?

Looking in on the.. square? Courtyard?

Really old column tops

These look like they took a long time to make

So detailed!

Hi there

This room is less empty

These chairs don't look comfortable

Religion is silly, but this place is pretty awesome

This place was pretty dark. Such deep windows!

Comfy corner?

More vaulted ceilings

Windows

The biggest of the doors. Made in the 1200s!

Old door

More detailed column toppers

Another courtyard area

Lots of great architecture

Hey it's that tower

Internal windows

Stained glass always looks cool

Check out that ceiling

All these tapestries are like 600 years old. It's crazy

This thing is older than the United States! By a lot!

More tapestries

Let's go kill stuff!

This is an intense fireplace

Hey, leave that unicorn alone!

What is this, an altar?

Hey buddy

Whoa. Big eagle thing

What's in that box?

I wonder how long it took to make this

This giant book makes me think of that giant history book in Gummi Bears

Closeup on the tapestry

More super old art

This place is all about arches and columns

This place is pretty cool!
