The Astor Chinese Garden Court is a peaceful interior courtyard tucked away in a top corner of The Met Museum in New York.

From Wikipedia:

The Astor Court, located in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a re-creation of a Ming Dynasty-style, Chinese-garden courtyard.

The first permanent cultural exchange between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China,[1] the installation was completed in 1981. Conceived by museum trustee Brooke Astor,[2] the courtyard was created and assembled by expert craftsmen from China using traditional methods, materials and hand tools.
