The Travelling Bookcase: Musee National du Moyen Age/Musee de Cluny (Paris)

Yesterday, reading, writing and ruminating efforts were put on hold for a trip to Paris and a wander around the wonderful Musee de Cluny in the excellent company of my friend Jonnie.

Musee de Cluny is the Parisian museum of the medieval age and it is the kind of museum that gives the impression of having displayed only the best of an enormous collection.

I was struck all the way around by how amazingly modern some of the imagery was... So to cut a long story short and because there is nothing nicer that looking at pretty pictures of a Tuesday morning, here is a taste of the middle ages....

On glass......

In stone.....

In fabric.....

Of gold.....


In mosaic….

And in wood......
