The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Medieval Collection Part 1

**I recorded this video for my mom who is really into Byzantine & Medieval art.**

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.

"The Met's collection of medieval art consists of a comprehensive range of Western art from the 4th century through the early 16th century, as well as Byzantine and pre-medieval European antiquities not included in the Ancient Greek and Roman collection. Like the Islamic collection, the Medieval collection contains a broad range of two- and three-dimensional art, with religious objects heavily represented. In total, the Medieval Art department's permanent collection numbers about 11,000 separate objects, divided between the main museum building on Fifth Avenue and The Cloisters."
