Being a patron of the Musée de Cluny means helping to bring 2,000 years of history to life in the heart of Paris.
In order to fulfil its mission of welcoming all kinds of visitors, to pursue its objectives of sharing knowledge and developing its activities in exhibitions of excellence and benchmarks, and to successfully complete projects such as the garden that will be included in the tour itinerary or the overhaul of its website, the museum is looking for new supporters.
By supporting the Musée de Cluny, our patrons forge bonds of trust and loyalty with our human-scale institution, which we are proud and happy to see become a long-term commitment. The Musée de Cluny is committed to developing, animating and uniting this network of loyal partners, without whom many projects would not be possible.

Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, between the Sorbonne and Notre-Dame, the Musée de Cluny invites you to step back in time from the 1st to the 21st century.
In a unique architectural setting, a 15th-century mansion, between courtyard and garden - the mansion of the abbots of Cluny, enlarged in the 19th century when it became a museum - stands alongside Gallo-Roman baths and is centred around a contemporary reception building designed in 2018 by the architect Bernard Desmoulin.
The major renovation project, which was completed in May 2022, focused on improving the accessibility of the museum's interior fittings and the presentation of its collections.
Major urgent work must now be undertaken, and will be carried out over the next few years, to ensure that this outstanding heritage is preserved and passed on to future generations:
Renowned for preserving one of the most famous medieval works in the world, the hanging of The Lady and the Unicorn, the museum, founded in 1843, houses a highly varied collection.
Paintings, sculptures (including those from Notre-Dame de Paris and the Sainte-Chapelle), stained glass, gold and ivory, tapestries - 24,000 works in all - illustrate the extraordinary diversity of medieval artistic production. At the Musée de Cluny, you can explore 1,000 years of history, from the end of Antiquity to the beginning of the Renaissance.
You can support the exhibitions organised each year by the Musée de Cluny, as well as its acquisitions policy to enrich the national collections and its annual restoration campaigns for the works it houses and for which it is responsible.
Welcoming all visitors
Reopened in May 2022, the Musée de Cluny now offers visitors a simpler, easier-to-understand chronological tour of 21 rooms. The ambitious modernisation programme begun in 2015 has made the museum accessible to all visitors, while at the same time showcasing its collections and architectural heritage.
The museum's ambition is to welcome all kinds of visitors, from novices to enthusiasts, and to continue to make it a source of wonder, discovery and knowledge-sharing. People with disabilities or who are far removed from culture are very welcome to discover this unique place.
