Join Glencairn Museum staff, Museum Members, and friends on a day trip to New York City that promises to be memorable. Dr. Julia Perratore, Assistant Curator at The Met Cloisters (and a former intern at Glencairn), will guide the group on an exclusive tour of the Cloisters, explaining the fascinating ways in which Glencairn and the Cloisters overlap, historically and aesthetically. Participants will have time to explore The Met Cloisters and The Met Fifth Avenue on their own.  

According to Dr. Perratore, “George Grey Barnard and… Raymond Pitcairn were avid collectors of medieval art. Their efforts resulted in two of the finest collections of medieval art in America: Glencairn Museum in Bryn Athyn and the Cloisters Museum in New York. Though these museums’ histories followed very different trajectories, the many connections between them can help us to understand the history of medieval art collecting in America” (“The Cloisters Connection,” Glencairn Museum News | Number 3, March 31, 2015).
