- Description:
- The Hôtel de Cluny now houses the Cluny Museum (the Musée Cluny), a museum of medieval arts and crafts in Paris. The Hôtel de Cluny is a Gothic mansion built about 1490 as the town residence of the abbots of Cluny. The collection assembled by Alexandre du Sommerard, owner of the mans ion from 1833, was the basis of the museum. The French government acquired the property on du Sommerard's death in 1842. The collection was reorganized in the early 1950s to present a coherent history of medieval civilization and includes gold- and silverwork, stained glass, sculpture, jewelry, text iles, and everyday articles.
