Following Notre-Dame's reopening in December 2024, get a behind-the-scenes look at the revival of this icon of French medieval architecture in a special event presented in partnership with World Monuments Fund.
The devastating fire at Notre-Dame de Paris on April 15, 2019 reminded the world of the significance of humanity's built heritage and inspired a resolute commitment to rebuild. The extraordinary project that restored the beloved French landmark in just five years marks a triumph in preservation and a renewed commitment to safeguarding our shared cultural heritage.
Special guests will include Philippe Villeneuve, chief architect for historic monuments in France, including Notre-Dame de Paris; Barry Bergdoll, professor of art history and archaeology at Columbia University; Bénédicte de Montlaur, World Monuments Fund President and CEO; Jane Williams, director of conservation at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; and Emily A. Beeny, chief curator of the Legion of Honor and Barbara A. Wolfe Curator in Charge of European Paintings, who will give the introduction.
Free program. Theater doors will open 30 minutes before the start of the program. Seating is limited and unassigned and on a first-come-first-served basis. Admission to the theater program does not include admission to the special exhibition or other galleries in the museum.
Every Saturday, we offer free general admission to all residents of the nine Bay Area counties; additional fees may apply for special exhibitions.
