Students Find Serenity amid Manhattan’s Met Cloisters
Over the President’s Day Weekend, Emily (Barry ’11) Sullivan, student support coordinator at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, led students on a daytrip to New York City’s Met Cloisters, an arm of the Metropolitan Museum of Art exclusively dedicated to the “art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe.”
After a three-hour drive on Sunday morning, the group caught sight of New York City’s famous skyline — but once inside the Met Cloisters, they seemed to enter another world entirely. Students explored the vast Gothic halls, awestruck at the vast array of religious icons, illuminated manuscripts, and gorgeous 11th century stained glass. A highlight was seeing the famous Unicorn Tapestries, which recount the story of a group of noblemen as they hunt an elusive unicorn.
Though dwarfed by bustling New York City, the Met Cloisters left students in anything but a New York state of mind during the long drive back to campus. “I’ve never seen so many instances of pure beauty in one spot,” observed Samuel Livingston (’26). “Everything in the museum was so utterly Catholic that I almost genuflected when I walked into some of the rooms. It was a really edifying experience.”
