Musée Cluny
(Musée Nationale du Moyen Age)

The Musée Cluny in Paris is the Museum of the Middle Ages (Moyen Age). There, among stunning damasks, glass paintings and sculptures, we visited the famous "Dame à la Licorne" or Lady with the Unicorn. The latter is a series of five woven damasks and one main one, all depicting a young woman and a unicorn amidst a colorful and detailed décor, clearly representing the five senses. Other interesting parts of the museum were the many religious figurines and representations, as well as very elaborate hair, which must have necessitated fairly advanced technology to be made so detailed. We also attended a concert at the museum, during which we were able to hear classic songs of the Moyen Age style.
