Perched on the northern tip of Manhattan, The Met Cloisters focuses on the art, architecture, and gardens of the European Middle Ages. In this virtual field trip, C. Griffith Mann, the Michel David-Weill Curator in Charge of the Medieval Department and The Cloisters, offers an insider’s take on the collection, sharing works of art that make this one of the great destinations for medieval art in the country. This event is planned as a live tour of the galleries on a day when the museum is closed to the public.

Dr. C. Griffith Mann has served as the Michel David-Weill Curator in Charge of the Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters since September, 2013. In this role, he is responsible for the medieval collections and curatorial staff in the Met’s main building, and for directing the staff and operations of The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Prior to working at the Met, Dr. Mann served as Deputy Director and Chief Curator at The Cleveland Museum of Art (2008-2013), and the Director of the Curatorial Division and Medieval Curator at The Walters Art Museum (2002-2008).
