		The structure, first started in 1334 combines Gothic and Renaissance elements and was formerly the town house of the abbots of Cluny; it was made into a public museum in 1833 and apart from the name it no longer possesses anything originally connected with the abbey.
		Although originally intended for the use of the Cluny Abbotts, the residence was taken over by Jacques Amboise Bishop of Clermont and Abbot of the Jumieges in rebuilt to its present form and design in the period of 1485-1500.
		The Cluny Town House is itself partially constructed on the remains of Gallo-Roman baths dating from the 3rd century (known as the Thermes de Cluny), which are famous in their own right and which may still be visited.

	A Brief Description of Some Medieval French Woodworking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		What follows is a brief description of some pieces from the Musée de Cluny in Paris. I apologize for the poor quality of some of the pictures, but the lighting was dim and I didn't have a tripod with me. The pieces are mostly French and mostly from the 15
		Century. Later pieces formerly at the Cluny have been transferred to the Musée national de la Renaissance at Ecouen. The pictures are all hyperlinks to a full size version of the photo.
		I am still in the process of retouching some of the photos and redrawing the sketches from my notes; these will be added as they are completed.

		Cluny is one of the more interesting architectural combinations in Paris: a 15th century palace built on the ruins of 3rd century Roman baths set in the midst of everyday bustling Paris.
		The museum has lots of objets d´art, for those who like gilded altarpieces and crowns, but it´s well worth visiting for the series of six world-famous Unicorn tapestries, which hang in a specially designed circular room.
		In the King´s Gallery heads were lopped off the figures lining the facade of nearby Notre-Dame Cathedral during the Revolution.

	The Cluny tapestries
		The lion and the unicorn appear to have resumed their positions on either side of the Lady, and both are again holding standards with the coat of arms of the Le Viste family.
		The tapestries of Cluny may be understood in terms of a sequence of events in which both the lion and the unicorn advance upon the Lady, and when the unicorn has approached sufficiently close to the Lady, she captures it, as shown in the scene associated with touch.
		This scene, which includes images of two monkeys in chains, may be related to the myth that the capture of a unicorn can be facilitated by the presence of a virgin, as discussed by Odell Shephard.
