Visiting Musée de Cluny in Paris
During our last full day in Paris, France, we went to two art museums. The first we visited was Musée de Cluny. This is already a fairly small art museum, but it was even smaller when we visited because some of it was closed for reconstruction and editing to the exhibits. There were only 2 exhibits open to us. The first was primarily about metal work from centuries ago and a lot of it was religious. The second was about unicorns! The main attraction is a series of large tapestries depicting the 5 senses. To depict the senses, the use a maiden and her handmaid, a unicorn, lion, and a monkey among other small animals. On some of the tapestries it's easy to figure out which sense they represent though some were more difficult.
