And for this last weekend of visits, the Musée de Cluny invites you to discover its secrets. It opens its doors for free and gives you access to the Regards sur la vie quotidienne exhibition as well as to the treasure room from its collection. It’s the occasion to discover its most spectacular richness such as “The Lady and the Unicorn”, a medieval tapestry that found its spot in pop cultural though the Harry Potter cinematographic saga, as well as the frigidarium from the Antique baths, a cold room featuring 14-m high vaults.
