The Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Fort Tryon Park, New York City.

The elegant original leaded glass windows, set in steel casement frames and found all over the stunning Clositers campus have been receiving much needed maintenance recently. We have removed many of the panels for partial and complete re-leading programs, always with an eye towards maintaining as much of the original historic material and character as possible. The pale pinks and greens of the antique glass in the quarries is so subtle as to be almost illegible in most light conditions, but the colors most express themselves against overcast skies.
