As its name indicates, Musee National du Moyen Age hosts various items from Middle Ages. Tapestries, religious objects, iron and wooden parts of christian temples'decoration, statues, coins. nice vitros and many other items are to be found here. It is not so well-known as other Paris museums, so it is not very crowded. I plesantly spend a couple of hours... more

We went so we could see the Roman baths and the found heads of Notre Dame. After buying the tickets, we were scooted to another lady to give us the audio tour equipment, and with a swoop said, "CLOSED" - on the baths and heads. Only the museum was open. They could have put a sign up, or put that... more

First get yourself a museum pass so you dont have to debate the value of smaller museums such as this. It was an excellent well run, well laid out museum. Being on the unknown side made it alot less crowded more enjoyable. Has several pieces of art/construction that are not to be missed while in town. The museum can be... more

Most visitors to Paris go to the Musée du Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay but far fewer visit or even know of the Musee National du Moyen Age a.k.a. "The Cluny Museum". My wife and I had been to Paris a few times before so we no longer felt any pressure to visit the regular Paris highlights. This museum has... more

This museum houses famous tapestries and other art from the Middle Ages. It also has a small collection of daily objects, like combs as well. I enjoyed this museum, but wish there had been more commentary on daily life, like how they made the tapestries and ways food was prepared. I also did not find any commentary in English and... more

We went here Feb. 2009. This is a very nice museum and has the Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries (not to be confused with the Unicorn Hunt Tapestries). I loved how organized this museum felt. After going to the Louvre and seeing so many different styles and periods mixed together, this Museum was a nice relief being focused only on... more

We stopped in at this museum on our last trip to Paris. The tapestries, especially the famous Lady and the Unicorn series, are excellent. A word of warning to students though, you can only get the student discount if your ID specifies that you are an arts major. If your school is like most in the US or UK, and... more

I went to the museum specially to see this exhibition, my first visit to there for more than forty years. It was a delightful experience, as someone else has mentioned, it was like going into a fairy tale castle, I am sure the spiders webs had remained untouched from one visit to the next. But all the things that needed... more

Museum of the Middle Ages is good to go if you have the Museum Pass, then it's free. It's a small place and my hotel was nearby, so I decided to pop by. It displays paintings, certain wood carvings, tapestries and furniture from the middle ages. Quite nice if you like that sort of thing. Many of the exhibits have... more

I had walked by the museum many times, and I had high expectations when I finally went, but I was disappointed. Partly because the baths were closed, and partly because I am spoiled by visiting so many great museums in Europe. It was interesting to learn more about the history of Paris, and the stained glass collection was nice, but... more
