This exhibition has closed

It closed on 18 October 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

Visiting The Cloisters

Works created on either side of the Atlantic between 500 and 1500 CE, shown at The Met Cloisters, per the exhibition's own page linked from the venue's visit page. Dates from press coverage pending the museum's own exhibition page.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.
