❷met Cloisters

Located in the park of Fort Trayne, the museum is like a castle, with fine exhibits of medieval European art, including ceramics, metalwork, enamel, paintings, sculptures, stained glass and tapestries. The classical and exquisite architecture itself is also worth viewing, you can see various Roman stone columns, stained glass Windows, arches, corridors, sculptures. Easy to shop and shoot! It's like being in a medieval world in Europe.

The Abbey Art Museum has an indissoluble bond with George Grey Barnard (1863-1938). Barnard is an American sculptor who spent his early years working in the Town of Xan, France, collecting and selling medieval sculptures and architectural artifacts found on the streets.
⁡
Barnard returned to the United States just before the outbreak of World War I and founded a museum to exhibit his collection of medieval art. (How much is this collection, and we wouldn't normally start a museum for collecting things?) . He called his museum "George Grey Barnard's Cloisters," and it was the first exhibition of medieval art in the United States to be "monastic."
⁡
In 1924, the Cloistered Museum of Art was put up for sale, and the generosity of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (1874-1960) enabled the Metropolitan Museum of Art to purchase the museum and its collection. The Rockefellers also donated more than 40 pieces of medieval art from their collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
⁡
In 1927, the Metropolitan Museum of Art decided to build this branch, and Rockefeller again funded the purchase of the entire 66.5 acres north of the Barnard Museum and turned it into a park. Today, the Cloisters Museum of Art, which we visited, sits high in the hills in the middle of the park. For the beauty of the scenery, the Rockefeller family even donated the park next to the Hudson River "across the park" to create a pleasant panoramic view.)

❺National Museum of Mathematics


Recently discovered a niche Museum in New York: The National Museum of Mathematics. As a math guy at NYU, it's natural to grab a friend and punch the clock.

The museum is in a good location, opposite the Broadway building, and is small and fine. Just inside the staff said enthusiastically "every worker in this museum has a Math degree!" Most of the tourists are parents with children, the overall facilities are also very similar to the domestic science and technology museum, many of the play items are more like physics or some puzzle games, very suitable for decompression and relaxation!

Since most of the participants in these events were children, my classmates and I easily broke the record of the fastest downhill event three times with a little knowledge of physics.
When I walked out of the museum, I felt like I had returned to my carefree childhood, a kind of clean stream on the streets of New York.

Mathematics-themed museum! Show visitors the wonders of mathematics in an interactive way, with cool interactive installations that explore the principles behind geometry, algorithms, optics and physics! Great for bringing kids and developing an interest in math!!
