Notre-Dame de Paris – A Cathedral on World Tour
The dramatic fire at the Notre-Dame cathedral shocked the international community in 2019. The entire world seemed to hold its breath as the famed cathedral stood in flames for seven hours. That very scene marks the start of the interactive exhibition titled »Notre-Dame de Paris – A Cathedral on World Tour«. Explore the exhibition, which encompasses approximately 850 square meters, for a whole new look at Notre-Dame today, from the plans used to build the cathedral through to the current reconstruction efforts. Immerse yourself in the world-famous cathedral’s 850-year history through augmented reality, impressive models, and projections. The interactive »HistoPad« tablet guide lets you admire Notre-Dame inside and out. Discover spectacular 360° views and 3D reconstructions and watch as restorers go about their important work. Journey through space and time, experiencing Notre-Dame as it was before the fire and as it is today.
An impressive backdrop for a breathtaking experience: the Grand Garden Palace
The heart of Dresden is home to an early Baroque architectural masterpiece, the Grand Garden Palace. These days, the palace is used as a venue for celebrations and exhibitions, with the upper floor deliberately left in its postwar state. It is the perfect setting for a unique exhibition. After visiting »Notre-Dame de Paris – A Cathedral on World Tour« the Grand Garden of Dresden itself is yours to explore on foot. Take in the idyllic groves of trees, themed gardens, and romantic winding paths. Hop aboard the Dresden Park Railway to tour the entire grounds or stop at one of the restaurants and cafés dotted around the garden as a pleasant way to finish the day.
12 cities, 4 continents, already a smash hit: the world tour
»Notre-Dame de Paris – A Cathedral on World Tour« was developed as a way to allow people to continue to visit Notre-Dame while restorations are under way. Over 150,000 guests attended the exhibition when it opened at the French pavilion of the Dubai World Expo. Now, after stops in Paris and Washington, D.C., »Notre-Dame de Paris – A Cathedral on World Tour« is coming to Germany for the first time. It will be on view at the Grand Garden Palace in Dresden from August 6, 2022, until January 8, 2023.
