Visitor Information
Location: The Musée National
du Moyen Age is in the 5th arrondissement, on the Left Bank of the Seine. (See
Google's satellite-photo map.) It's just south of the Boulevard Saint-Germain, near the
Cluny-La Sorbonne Métro stop. (Other transit
stations within walking distance include the St-Michel, Odéon, and Maubert Métro
stops and the St-Michel RER station.)
Directions: If you're exiting the Métro at Cluny-La
Sorbonne, walk east to the Rue de Cluny, turn right, walk south about a block to
the Place Paul-Painlevé, and turn right again.
 The
museum entrance is inside the courtyard of the former abbey. Look for the banner
on the building (shown at top of page), and then follow the arrow sign in the
courtyard to the ticket office.
Museum hours and admission: The Musée National du Moyen Age is open daily
except Tuesdays from 9:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. (The shop is open until 6
p.m.) For ticket prices, descriptions of the collections, news about
special exhibitions, and other information, visit
www.musee-moyenage.fr.
Garden hours: The museum gardens are a public park, and you can visit
them without buying a museum ticket. The gardens are open from 8 or 9 a.m. to
5:45 p.m. (winter) or 9:30 p.m. (summer), with the terrace within the gardens
being open from 9:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Zoom in on Google's
satellite-photo map for an
aerial view of the gardens.
