The Met Cloisters lists two family programs beginning at 1 p.m. Sunday: Family Afternoon—A Medieval Feast and How Did They Do That?—Feasting. The museum describes both as hands-on opportunities connected to medieval food, objects and the work of educators, conservators and artists.
The programs are free with museum admission, according to the official calendar. Families should verify the event location, admission policy and end time before traveling to Fort Tryon Park. The Cloisters is separate from The Met Fifth Avenue, so the correct destination matters when planning transit.
The paired activities offer two ways into the subject: creative family participation and demonstrations about how objects or practices were made. Visitors should use the museum's live calendar for any capacity or schedule change rather than relying on a saved listing.
Because the programs begin at the same time, families should ask museum staff how the activities are organized before assuming they can attend both in full. The calendar description is an overview, while gallery locations, session length and any materials instructions are best confirmed on arrival.
