The National Museum of the Middle Ages is housed across two exceptional Parisian monuments: the Gallo-roman thermes, dating from the 2nd century, and the 15th century Cluny Abbey hotel.

Founded in 1843 and known to the French as the Musée National du Moyen Age, this museum tells a story of the French Middle Ages, offering a unique view of the art and history of those strange times.

This historic museum is home to some extraordinary objects and collections. The medieval goldsmithing and enamelling on display are some of the finest in existence and include the treasures of the greatest kings of old Europe.

The Musée National du Moyen Age also houses the most extensive collection of stained glass of any museum in France with 230 panels and fragments of stained glass spanning a period from the 12th to the 16th century.

Entrance to the museum is completely free with the Paris Pass - that’s a saving of over 5 Euros.
