MY FAVOURITE MUSEUM






www.musee-moyenage.fr/

If you are in Paris this summer why not visit my favourite museum. It is housed in the Mansion of the Abbots of Cluny in the Latin Quarter, the fan vaulting is in the chapel.
The other pictures are exhibits. they have those wonderful "virgin and unicorn" tapestries. They also have the original statues from the facade of Notre Dame de Paris housed in Roman Baths next door.
It is a bit like the V&A but smaller and more "digestable".
