This film takes the viewer to see The Cloisters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Built in the 1930s, they were designed to provide a place to showcase the art and architecture of the Medieval Ages, from about 1000 to 1500 A.D. There are rooms done in the two styles of the age: Romanesque and Gothic. Tapestries, panels, manuscripts, sculptures, frescoes, stained glass, and metalwork are in the collection. An herb and flower garden featuring over 200 species of plants grown at that time is part of the exhibit. A portion of the video is devoted to an archival film showing the deconstruction, moving, and reconstructing of a medieval chapel. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
