National Building Museum's Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition

On April 15th, 2022 the National Building Museum is bringing French heritage back to life with a major new exhibition, Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition, a 360-degree augmented reality immersion into the 850-year history of the cathedral and its ongoing restoration. The innovative installation is designed and produced by Histovery, a French start-up, in collaboration with the Public Institution in charge of the conservation and restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. L’Oréal is the exclusive sponsor of the exhibit. The exhibition’s North American debut at the Museum takes place on the third anniversary of the 2019 fire that ravaged this UNESCO World Heritage site and runs through Monday, September 26th, 2022. This visually stunning experience is the first interactive technology exhibition on display at the National Building Museum. The exhibition is offered in an immersive physical setting that is visually transporting. Vinyl replicas of the cathedral’s flooring, stained-glass transfers on the Museum’s historic windows, audio of Notre Dame’s organs and tolling bells, as well as a projection of the cathedral’s famed rose window, that miraculously survived the fire, complete the multi-sensory experience.
