This
is the city's foremost example of civil architecture from the Middle
Ages and before, and the museum is one of Paris's treasures.
Here you'll see ancient Roman baths and the statues that furious
revolutionaries tore from Notre-Dame, thinking they represented
royalty. The famous fifteenth-century tapestry series of The
Lady and the Unicorn displayed in the museum is an allegory
representing the five senses; the meaning of the sixth tapestry
remains a mystery.
