Tapestries were the ultimate luxury item in late medieval Europe, and two of the finest series to survive feature unicorns. The famous series of Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries in the Cloisters in New York offers thrilling action, while the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries now in the Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris focus on the five senses.
