The Musée de Cluny, officially known as Musée National du Moyen Âge, is a museum in Paris, France, which houses a variety of important artifacts dating to the Middle Ages. One of its most famous works is the tapestry cycle, The Lady and the Unicorn.
The plaque commemorates the 4th floor flat (the plaque is at ground floor level; this window is not Hemingway's window) that Hemingway rented in 1922 in the Latin Quarter.
The Square deCluny hid behind billboards detailing the park's conversion into a garden resembling that of the time when knights slew dragons and swept damsels in distress off their feet.
From the Quai de la Tournelle on the Seine, at the level of the Ile St-Louis, the Pantheon briefly appears above the rue de Bièvre.
The structure, first started in 1334 combines Gothic and Renaissance elements and was formerly the town house of the abbots of Cluny; it was made into a public museum in 1833 and apart from the name it no longer possesses anything originally connected with the abbey.
Although originally intended for the use of the Cluny Abbotts, the residence was taken over by Jacques Amboise Bishop of Clermont and Abbot of the Jumieges in rebuilt to its present form and design in the period of 1485-1500.
The Cluny Town House is itself partially constructed on the remains of Gallo-Romanbaths dating from the 3rd century (known as the ThermesdeCluny), which are famous in their own right and which may still be visited.
