Metropolitan Museum "Holiday Mondays" Program Expands to Include Cloisters Museum and Gardens December 26 and January 2

The Cloisters museum and gardens—The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s northern Manhattan branch dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe—will be open to the public on two Mondays this coming holiday season: December 26 and January 2. “Holiday Mondays at The Cloisters” represent an expansion of the Metropolitan Museum’s popular “Met Holiday Mondays,” which began in 2004. These Monday openings will provide an opportunity for the public to visit either or both of the Museum’s two locations on the Mondays of long holiday weekends when, traditionally, the Museum has been closed. The Cloisters and the Metropolitan Museum’s main building will both be open on December 26 and January 2.
