5 Paris museums you can’t miss – Part 2

Welcome therefore to the 2nd and last installment of our top 5 Paris museums you can’t miss. So far, we have suggested:

• The Louvre
• The Orsay
• The Rodin Museum

Here’s the thing with Paris museums, though: no matter how many you see, no matter how deeply you explore, you can never stop. And our very, very short 5 point list should be regarded as nothing more but the beginning of this amazing exploration.

4. The Cluny National Museum of the Middle Ages is one of my all time favorite museums if you ask me about all the museums from all around the world which I have visited. It is exclusively dedicated to the middle ages, a not-so-dark time in the history of France. There are artifacts and objects that accurately describe the life and activities of people in the middle ages, there are beautifully colored stained glass pieces describing daily life images, armours belonging to brave knights, swords and all sorts of weapons not only from the French region, not only from Europe even, but from all over the world.

But perhaps the most outstanding pieces in the museum are the Flemish Tapestry Series “The Lady and the Unicorn” depicting the senses through one of the greatest medieval myths: the unicron.

5. And here we are, almost at the end of this cultural trip of ours. And the last museum I am going to recommend that you visit in Paris is the Pantheon. A former Roman Temple, it is a Catholic Church that honors the memory and serves as the final resting place for some of the most brilliant personalities France has given to humanity. Aside from the fact that it is a culturally relevant spot, it is also commendable for its wonderful panoramic view of the city. And I warmly advise you to opt for that feature and go see it all!
