The Cloisters museum and gardens—The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s northern Manhattan branch dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe—will be open to the public on two Mondays this coming holiday season: December 26 and January 2. “Holiday Mondays at The Cloisters” represent an expansion of the Metropolitan Museum’s popular “Met Holiday Mondays,” which began in 2004. These Monday openings will provide an opportunity for the public to visit either or both of the Museum’s two locations on the Mondays of long holiday weekends when, traditionally, the Museum has been closed. The Cloisters and the Metropolitan Museum’s main building will both be open on December 26 and January 2.
The grand reopening of a suite of 15 dramatic New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia will take place at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on November 1. The greatly enlarged, freshly conceived, and completely renovated galleries will house the Metropolitan’s renowned collection of Islamic art—one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of this material in the world. Design features within the new space will highlight both the diversity and the interconnectedness of the numerous cultures represented here; multiple entryways will allow visitors to approach the new galleries—and the art displayed within—from different perspectives.
