Medieval Festival in Manhattan (60 photos)

In the north of Manhattan, Cloisters is a museum, which houses a vast collection of medieval art of all kinds. Every year, near its walls Medieval Festival takes place. Of course, this fest is not considered a particularly serious and there you can find a wide variety of personalities, ranging from pirates and ending samurai, but there is a lot of fun.




Dental practice, for example, advertised its services frightening picture showing and telling about the history of dentistry (which previously consisted mainly of only removing the patient's tooth with all sorts of means). Here's a similar picture with their stand.



I was also touched by the pathetic attitude to copyright. All the pictures hung on the stand, there were references to the source.
