The Name of the Rose
Washington Heights, Manhattan
Perched on a hilltop in Fort Tryon Park overlooking the Hudson River, this museum setting brings together medieval European art and architecture. Built in the 1930s using architectural elements from five medieval French monasteries, it combines Romanesque arches, Gothic vaults, stained glass, tapestries, and quiet garden courtyards. Views of the Hudson River and the Palisades complete an atmosphere that feels far removed from the surrounding city.

Tungsten’s Take
Transporting, mysterious, and utterly singular, this setting looks and feels like medieval Europe. For period productions and art-forward shoots, it is in a category entirely its own.
