An immersive exhibition titled “Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition” has opened its doors at the National Museum of China in Beijing, offering visitors a unique journey through the storied history of the iconic cathedral.
The exhibition seamlessly blends augmented reality technology with physical displays, allowing visitors to explore Notre-Dame’s rich heritage and its ongoing reconstruction following the devastating fire in 2019. By using tablets provided at the exhibit, attendees can witness the cathedral’s evolution since its founding in 1163, delve into key historical moments, appreciate its architectural grandeur, and learn about various restoration efforts over the centuries.
Opening on September 11, this exhibition serves as a highlight of the celebrations commemorating the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France. It is also a centerpiece of the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, symbolizing the deep cultural ties and mutual appreciation between the two nations.
“This exhibition not only showcases the timeless beauty of Notre-Dame but also represents a bridge connecting our cultures,” remarked a representative from the National Museum of China. “Through technology and art, we hope to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of global heritage.”
The exhibition is expected to attract a wide audience, from history enthusiasts and art lovers to those interested in the latest advancements in augmented reality technology. It stands as a testament to international collaboration in preserving and celebrating world heritage sites.
