LOACTIAON: THE CLOISTERS IN FORT TRYON PARK

                           Note: we will meet in lobby by the information desk

TRANSPORTATION: The A train to 190th Street.  Take the elevator to the upper level exit and enter Ft. Tyron Park.  Follow the path to the building. The entrance is on the eastern side (away from the Hudson River)  of the building at the roadway level. It is about a 10 minute walk from the subway station. 

NOTE:  The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art which charges and entrance fee.  If you are a member you will have free admission.  If you are a member at a level that includes guest passes, please ask for one so that we can give it to someone who is not a member.  If you are not a member you can elect to pay whatever you wish: a few dollars should be sufficient but even a quarter will get you in.

Also remember that there are NO wet media allowed in the building.  You can use any dry medium and activate the color with a water brush that has its own internal reservoir. Bring a stool. There is a cafe in the building where we can have lunch. You can purchase something or bring your own lunch and sit at a table to eat it.
