La Experiencia Medieval: Talleres Educativos para la Familia en Español en Los Claustros

Los niños entre cuatro y doce años de edad y sus familias están invitados a participar en una serie de talleres educativos en español titulada La Experiencia Medieval en Los Claustros, la sección del Museo Metropolitano de Arte dedicada al arte medieval. El último sábado de cada mes tendrán la oportunidad de participar en una visita guiada y de hacer un proyecto de arte. Cada taller es de una hora de duración y es gratis con la entrada al museo. Nos reuniremos en la sala de recepción.

Consulten el calendario para fechas y horarios. Los Claustros están ubicados en la zona norte de Manhattan, en Fort Tryon Park. La entrada es una donación voluntaria. Si desea más información, puede llamar al 212-396-5314.
Concerts
Concerts are held in the twelfth-century Fuentidueña Chapel from Spain, visually and acoustically one of the most beautiful sites for the performance of medieval music. Concert ticket prices include free same-day admission to the Museum. Seats are limited, and advance purchase is recommended. All tickets are general seating. Search the calendar for upcoming concerts at The Cloisters, or call 212-650-2290 (Monday through Friday, between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.) for information about specific concerts or to purchase tickets.
