About Musée de Cluny
The Musée de Cluny houses France's national collection of medieval art, spread across 21 rooms with roughly 1,600 works on display from a total collection of 24,000 objects. The museum occupies two connected buildings: the ruins of 1st-century Gallo-Roman public baths and a late-15th-century Gothic mansion built by Jacques d'Amboise, Abbot of Cluny. The frigidarium of the Roman baths survives with its original vaulted ceiling rising over 14 meters, making it one of the best-preserved Roman structures north of the Alps.

The medieval mansion was deliberately built on top of the Roman baths in 1485. Rather than demolishing the ancient ruins, the architect incorporated the 1,300-year-old Roman walls as load-bearing elements of the new Gothic structure. In several rooms, visitors can see Roman masonry transitioning directly into medieval stonework.
