Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris

This splendid museum now has a few rooms dedicated to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and some jewelry. The collections mostly focus on religious art and the representation of bourgeois lifestyle from the 13th to the 16th Century; for example, a reproduction of an ornate Gothic bedroom, furnished with tapestries and grand furniture as well as a Renaissance-style room, decorated in imitation marble. The latter very closely depicts life in France and Italy in the 15th Century. To make the visit more enjoyable, there is a library and a shop at your disposal.
