Paris is home to over 130 museums that hold some of the most important art and history treasures in the entire world. We will enjoy specialized and timeless places spaces, from the medieval collection at Musée de Cluny to the Musée’ Jouy de Toile for a lovely dive into toile. Two museums focus on fashion – the Galeria de Dior and the Palais Galleria.
The Musée de Cluny is a museum of medieval art in Paris. The museum houses one of the largest collections of art from the Middle Ages, consisting of 23,000 items, of which about 2,300 are exhibited. This includes the famed The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries.
The Lady and the Unicorn is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries created in the style of mille-fleurs (thousand flowers) and woven in Flanders from wool and silk, from designs drawn in Paris around 1500. "Woven in Flanders" refers to textiles, primarily tapestries and linens, that are manufactured in the historical region of Flanders, which covers parts of modern-day Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The phrase is synonymous with high-quality, heritage craftsmanship.
La Galerie Dior, is the first museum of the Parisian fashion house. Located in the same building as the legendary shop, La Galerie Dior was planned as a cultural attraction in its own right, a repository of fashion memory. It is behind this emblematic facade designed in the purest French style of the second half of the 19th century, that more than seventy years of collections are found.
You will love going to Palais Galleria – the fashion museum of Paris. There's always a fascinating exhibit on.
