Located in the Château d'Ecouen, where some of the rooms have kept their original furniture, the museum largely consists of the Renaissance collections of the Musée de Cluny. It features items from the 16th and 17th centuries representing the decorative arts (furniture, woodwork, tapestries, ceramics, etc.) of France, Italy and the Netherlands. The 16th Century chapel on the ground floor with its painted beams and the wall-hanging depicting the story of David and Bathsheba in the west wing are also worth a visit.
