Summary of Musée de Cluny
Musée de Cluny
6 place Paul-Painlevé
Paris, France
+331 5373 7815
It is located near the famous Sorbonne University and is one of the best examples of 15th century architecture. The museum showcases armour, chests, ivories, mirrors and hangings which were gathered by Alexandre du Sommerard to portray the Medieval ages and the Renaissance. There is a whole room depicting the most amazing pieces of art from the 16th century, such as Dutch tapestries full of flowers and birds, a woman spinning while a cat plays with the end of the thread and a pretty woman in her bath, overflowing into a duck pond. But the best exhibit is that of La Dame à la Licorne – The Lady with the Unicorn, which features six inscrutable scenes of a beautiful woman flanked by a lion and a unicorn.
