Known as Musée de Cluny, this museum holds six spectacular tapestries called The Lady and the Unicorn.

Apart from the famous tapestries, the museum presents many other significant medieval artifacts. It has both temporary and permanent exhibitions, so make sure to check out the official website for what's currently happening in the establishment.

It also hosts concerts, exhibitions, readings and workshops. Its gardens are also worth visiting, they are open to public and free of charge.
