The Museo de la Edad Media de París, also known as Museo Cluny, holds one of the most remarkable medieval collections in the world.

It is one of the most visited medieval museums in the world, both for the objects on display and for the building itself.

What to See at the Paris Museum of the Middle Ages

Ancient sculptures and pieces whose origins date back to even before the Middle Ages are on display, shedding light on the roots of medieval art.

The exhibition comprises more than 2.300 objetos antiguos including weapons, ivories, stained glass, armor, and gravestones. The best-known piece is the 15th-century Lady and the Unicorn tapestry.
