This Captivating Multimedia Exhibition Will Make You Feel Like You’re In Paris
If you can’t hop on a plane to explore France’s rich, historic culture in person right now, Notre-Dame de Paris: The Exhibition is the next best thing.
The immersive experience is making its way across the Atlantic to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC, where visitors will get a first-hand look at the Notre-Dame’s extensive 850-year history through augmented reality. Guests will be able to wander through illuminated photo panels and 3-D models of the Notre-Dame with HistoPad tablets at hand, which dial back the clock hundreds of years through the Church’s evolution.
While on a vivid journey through time, those making their way through the exhibition will focus on pivotal historic moments along the way: the arrival of the Holy Crown carried by Saint Louis in 1241, the coronation of Emperor Napoleon I in 1804, and the construction of the Viollet-le-Duc spire in 1859, to name just a few. But as much as this is an exploration of generations past, Notre-Dame de Paris: The Exhibition is also focused on the future by coinciding with the attraction’s reopening in France on December 8th, and allowing a birds-eye view into the current-day restoration project taking place after the church’s horrific fire in 2019.
History buffs, architects, and travel enthusiasts will find a lot to love about this powerful and moving project that’s considered “an extraordinary union of history and technology,” so why not take a peek for yourself? There’s no passport required.
Visit the Cathedral of St. John the Divine online for tickets and more information.
