Radiant Light: Stained Glass From Canterbury Cathedral Comes to NYC
ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
NEW YORK---Now on view at The Cloisters is "Radiant Light: Stained Glass from Canterbury Cathedral" a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The brilliantly colored panels come from one of the great surviving series of medieval stained glass, and the exhibition represents the first time they have left the cathedral precincts since their creation in 1178–80. An interactive panorama of the Canterbury Cathedral on a large touch-screen monitor will provide visitors with a 360-degree view of the building’s interior and will show the windows in their original location. A short video, Recreating a Medieval Window, will be shown in gallery.
