If you love history, art and Paris, we've got the perfect museum to satisfy all your passions. Discover the Musée de Cluny, the museum of the Middle Ages in Paris and a place steeped in history.

Head for Paris's Latin Quarter, and more specifically the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, to visit the Musée du Moyen-Âge. Although not one of the capital's most famous cultural sites, this museum has everything it takes to become one of the capital's must-see artistic spots. Recently renovated and modernized, this site is adjacent to the Cluny terms, one of the few ancient monuments in the city of Paris.

The Musée de Cluny houses 23,000 objects and exhibits, including 1,600 works displayed in the 21 rooms of the permanent exhibition. These include major works from a collection representing the richness and diversity of the Middle Ages, spanning a period of 1,500 years. The museum's itinerary also includes ancient spaces such as the plaster room, the Gothic cellar and the Roman annex, not forgetting, of course, the Cluny baths.

The permanent collections are displayed in chronological order. Architectural remains, sculptures, paintings, historical objects, craft treasures, tapestries, jewelry, caskets... History is told through these exceptional pieces. The Musée de Cluny also wanted to showcase works from Notre-Dame Cathedral, to underline its unique link with this iconic Parisian landmark. Interactive digital panels also add modern didactic elements to complete the tour.
