Mission & Vision

Musée de Cluny – Musée national du Moyen Age was created in 1843 to ensure the conservation and presentation of the historic buildings that make up the museum and the national collections of works of art that it houses. Home to the famous “The and the Unicorn” tapestry series, its mission is also to facilitate the wide dissemination of knowledge on the history of medieval art.

Actions Led

Musée de Cluny showcases different exhibits throughout the year. In 2024, an exhibition titled “Rediscovering the Sculptures of Notre Dame de Paris” will present pieces from the exterior and interior of the cathedral. Additionally, actions have been taken to improve the museum’s accessibility and visibility, with more renovations on the way.
