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 my French is pretty sad.

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 things of the Middle Ages. The building itself is interesting to look at as well with its small gargoyles and a very nice garden in the back that really feels old world minus the weird metal garden art which doesn't fit.

I only had one disappointment with this Museum. Their online information was incorrect regarding when they have their Medieval choral concert. Online it says it's on a certain day of the week and they told us we were wrong and that it's this day as they hand us a printed out schedule of events without any remorse or apology. Why couldn't they update their website if they can make a printout of it as well. We'd specifically planned to go That day to hear the singing and well we didn't want to have to come back again either so we just resumed our tour. The Roman bath below was also closed for unknown reasons.

Anyways, it was a very nice organized museum that's a little hidden and worth a look.

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 doesn't list your major, expect to pay full price.

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 improving had improved, the lighting, the loos, the manners of the staff and above all ,a most wondrous book shop. the only negative was the failure to provide an exhibition catalogue even though I both asked for one in the bookshop and requested one by mail from England.. For the professional medievalist, a visit is essential, for the amateur, it's a delicious eye-opener. Paris is so rich in medieval history and since the French are generally far more enthusiastic about their medieval history than the Brits, the potential for many more improvements may hopefully be realised though I suspect the confines of the site itself may act as a barrier to this
