The Canton of Appleholm invites you to join us on another informal weekend outing to one of our many world-class museums.

On Saturday, March 28, at 1 PM we’ll gather at The Cloisters to view their exhibit “Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages.”

Set in the stunning atmosphere of The Met Cloisters, this exhibition explores the often-overlooked themes of desire, sexuality, and gender in the medieval past, a period of time when most artistic production served religious purposes.

This is the last weekend for the exhibit, which closes March 29th.

Afterwards we can take a leisurely tour of the rest of the museum, and perhaps even see the beginnings of spring in their garden.

We’ll meet at the lower-level entrance, which is where the bus lets. off. If you miss us, call Þorfinnr at 908-799-8822 to meet inside the museum. We’ll probably spend 2-3 hours in the museum and then may find food nearby.

Visitors with proof of New York State residence may pay any amount to enter (as little as $1) and the same goes for students from NJ and CT; sadly, for other out-of-state visitors or those without ID, admission is an exorbitant $30.

All are welcome to join us. No Society membership or previous experience required. There is no charge to join us. Modern attire; come as you are. Accessibility at The Met Cloisters is somewhat limited for wheelchair and stroller users and others who need step-free access due to the building’s landmark status. A free shuttle service is available to visitors requiring step-free access to enter the building.

Feel free to RSVP to events@appleholm.eastkingdom.org or just show up and join us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
