Our family will visit the Cloisters this Christmas Eve to enjoy the medieval art and architecture, and as the green hollies and ivies curl across the stone and sun, I will hear their ancient stories told again.

I would love to see the Cloisters at Christmas, medieval art, music, architecture, plants, what could be better!

In the 30s and 40s I spent a great deal of time there with my sister, then, when I worked in the city, with friends. Then when I was engaged and my fiance attended NYU we picnicked, studied and just relaxed weekends. Under G.I. Bill, there were not too many beautiful free places to go to. I wish I could see it again. Sincerely, Helen De Bellis Very happy that the Cloisters are still being cared for in a loving way.
