Cluny Museum - National Museum of the Middle Ages

One of the most beautiful pieces in this museum are the collection of six "The Lady and the Unicorn' tapestries. When I viewed them in 2015, I did not realize that the scale of these beloved tapestries were floor to ceiling in size. The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries as well as other Middle Age works of art and artifacts can be viewed in this museim in the 5th arrondissement close to Saint-Germain.
