Notre-Dame Cathedral Immersive Experience

November 23 - January 05,2025

From the MFAH:

"Following the devastating fire on April 15, 2019 that destroyed the roof, spire, and much of the interior of Notre-Dame de Paris, the iconic Gothic cathedral will reopen to the public on Saturday, December 7, 2024. To commemorate this historic moment, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston will present an unprecedented immersive experience that brings visitors into a virtual, three-dimensional model of Notre-Dame.  The monumental virtual installation recreates the experience of being in the medieval cathedral’s majestic space, while revealing the extraordinary achievement of those engaged in Notre Dame’s five-year restoration: a team of nearly 2,000, both on site and in workshops across France, including conservators, carpenters, glassmakers, locksmiths, engineers, and scaffolding experts. The presentation showcases the legendary architectural features of the cathedral, including its famed stained-glass windows, as well as the role of new technologies in preserving and communicating humanity’s cultural heritage.

The Notre-Dame immersive experience will be on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston from November 23, 2024, through January 5, 2025."
