- The cathedral has been filled with art in the over 860-year history of Notre Dame de Paris. The churches were the very first museums and were happy to spend their money to teach the stories to the flock that couldn't read through art.
The day after the fire, we searched for updates on the church's interior. Luckily the night of, and the following days all of the treasures and art were removed from Notre Dame. Dodging the flames the paintings would suffer from the humidity and water that filled the nave.
In 2021, a deep restoration began on all 22 paintings taken from Notre Dame and today you can see them on display. In the Mobilier National until July 21 the Grands Décors Restaurés de Notre Dame de Paris exhibit is not to be missed.
For years before the fire, the paintings were covered in dirt, dust, and candle soot. The tragic event allowed them to restore them all at once and return them to us before they are rehung in the coming months.
Join me for a visit to the exhibit details on each piece and the stories of the restoration process.
