Saint-Guilhem Cloister
Natural light streams through a skylight into this cloister, which was reconstructed with more than 140 fragments from the Benedictine abbey of St.-Guilhem-le-Désert. Located northwest of Montpellier, it was founded in the early ninth century and quickly became a major pilgrimage site. The exquisite limestone carvings of both narrative scenes and intricate plant motifs come from the now-destroyed upper story of the abbey's cloister, dating from the late twelfth century. Important twelfth-century sculptures from France, Italy, and Spain on the peripheral walls provide informative comparisons.
[*Met Cloisters]
The Met Cloisters, Washington Heights
An extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the building references French monasteries and abbeys, and incorporates four cloisters acquired in 1913 - Bonnefont, the Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem, and Trie. The building was designed by Charles Collens and resides in Fort Tryon Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr and the Olmsted Brothers; construction began in 1934, the building and gardens opened in 1938. The Cloisters were commissioned by John D Rockefeller Jr as an extension to the Metropolitan Museum, to hold a collection he had purchased from George Grey Barnard in 1925 (including elements from abbeys in Sant Miquel de Cuixà, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, Bonnefont-en-Comminges, Trie-sur-Baïse and Froville), a collection boosted by donations from JP Morgan and Joseph Brummer.

Turbulence the Future & Black Prophet, Together as one Tour 2012. With Special Guest Joggo at Het Paard van Troje, Den Haag. February 9, 2012
قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لاَ تَقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِي غَيَابَةِ الْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
* أحَيَاناً نُحِس أنَ بعَضَ الأحَدَاثِ التَي وَقعَت لنَآ لَم تَكُن هِيَ الخَيَرة..!
بَل هِيَ الخَيَرة فِعلاً وَكًل مَافِيَ المَوضُوع أنَكَ لَم تُشَاهِد النِهَايَة
وَلو أظَهَر اللهُ لَكَ الحِكَمَة لمَا أخَتَرتَ غيَرُهَا لِنَفَسَك ..
" لَوْ كُشِفَتْ سُحُبُ الغَيبِ لَنَا .. مَا اخْتَرنَا إِلا مَا اختارهُ الـ رَبُّ لَنَا "
