How It's Used

“Yet for eight years, curators, conservators, lighting experts and stonemasons have been methodically making small but significant improvements to the five medieval cloisters that were fashioned into a museum in 1938. Now they have an updated climate-control system, subtler lighting and seamless repairs to the stone facade.”

—Carol Vogel, “At the Cloisters, a Major Stained-Glass Restoration Project,” The New York Times, June 17, 2006.
