The Musée de Cluny - Musée national du Moyen Âge is a museum of medieval art in Paris. It is located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, between the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Boulevard Saint-Michel. The seat of the museum is already a spectacle in itself: the Musée de Cluny occupies part of the ancient Gallo-Roman baths (1st and 3rd century AD) and part of the Gothic palace of the Hotel di Cluny, from which it takes its name. The museum was founded by the state in 1843 with the private collection of Alexandre du Sommerard, a great lover of medieval art. The museum is divided into 24 rooms that house all kinds of medieval artifacts: furniture, tapestries, fabrics, coins, jewels, weapons, sculptures are preserved, through which it is possible to reconstruct the forms of art and crafts of the Middle Ages. The most famous section is the one dedicated to tapestries and fabrics, among which the series of tapestries “La Vie Seigneuriale” and the series created in Brussels towards the end of the 15th century, “La Dame à la Licomé” stand out. Among the other works of particular interest preserved in the museum, there are the splendid sculptures depicting the heads of the kings of Judea which decorated the Notre-Dame Cathedral and which were demolished during the Revolution.
