The Musée de Cluny houses a variety of important medieval artifacts, in particular its tapestry collection, which includes the fifteenth century tapestry cycle La Dame à la Licorne.
Other notable works stored there include early medieval sculptures from the seventh and eighth centuries, and works of gold, ivory, antique furnishings, stained glass, and illuminated manuscripts.
The structure is perhaps the most outstanding example still extant of civic architecture in medieval Paris. It was formerly the town house of the abbots of Cluny, started in 1334. The structure was rebuilt in the late 15th century and combines Gothic and Renaissance elements.
