From my experience of the space I\u2019m somewhat torn with this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Visually, the museum is exceptionally stimulating. However I am unable to conclude if being interested in the history behind the visuals is what makes this so \u2014 or if they are worthwhile on their own. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-best-museums-to-visit-with-children-in-paris\/\">children<\/a>, a museum need only be visually stimulating and they should manage hours in the space. The Cluny is a difficult one to pin down.

When things died down, they would be sold at auction to the highest bidder in attempt to regain life inside the walls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1833 the property de Cluny was purchased by an art collector named Alexandre du Sommerard. It remained in his name until his death in 1842 whereupon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-parisian-architecture\/\">property<\/a> and its contents then returned to State ownership. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Upon realizing what treasures the walls held, the property was only transformed into the museum that we know it for today in 1843. The idea was to create a space that would tell the tales of the French Middle Ages as accurately as possible for generations to come. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Cluny Museum, or Museum of the Middle Ages, has done just that. What was once just a magnificent mansion belonging to some wealthy aristocrats is now an educational hub of Â鶹APP and draws in thousands upon thousands of visitors each year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you enter the property after arriving in the 5th arrondissement you\u2019ll enter via the main courtyard.
