Musée de Cluny, Medieval history museum in Latin Quarter, France
The museum occupies an ancient Roman bath complex and a Gothic mansion, presenting medieval artifacts across multiple exhibition halls and architectural spaces.
The institution emerged in 1843 when the French government acquired both the building and the extensive medieval art collection of Alexandre Du Sommerard.
The museum maintains 23,000 medieval artworks, including the renowned Lady and the Unicorn tapestry series from the fifteenth century.
The museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 9:15 AM to 5:45 PM, with complete closure on January 1, May 1, and December 25.
The structure integrates a Roman frigidarium with preserved thermal baths dating from the first to third centuries beneath a fifteenth-century Gothic residence.
