After a long time, the interactive exhibition, dedicated to the history of Notre-Dame de Paris, arrives in Spain thanks to L'Oréal Groupe and Histovery. The exhibition will be open from April 25, 2024, to July 14, 2024, at CentroCentro, a cultural centre located in the Cibeles Palace, the current city hall and one of the best-known buildings of the architect Antonio Palacios, whose 150th anniversary of his birth is celebrated this year.
The exhibition is a project that shows a journey through the 850 years of history of the French Gothic masterpiece, from its origins in the 12th century to its meticulous restoration after the fire of 2019. During its tour in 11 cities in the world, the exhibition has received more than 380,000 visitors.

The interactive exhibition dedicated to the history of Notre-Dame de Paris now arrives in Madrid a few months before its reopening to the public, scheduled for December 8, 2024, coinciding with the year of the Paris Olympic Games that will be held this year.
Devised and created by Histovery in collaboration with the Public Entity in Charge of the Conservation and Restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris, and with the sponsorship of L'Oréal Groupe, the exhibition is co-produced with CentroCentro in its itinerary in Madrid. The exhibition had previously been exhibited in cities worldwide, such as Dubai, Paris, Washington, Shanghai, Berlin, Mexico City and, recently, Westminster Abbey in London.

A 360º augmented reality tour through 850 years of history
Visitors will tour the exhibition equipped with HistoPad™, a portable tablet with a touch screen with which 21 "doors of time" are scanned, allowing a 360° augmented reality immersion through 850 years of history. From the laying of the first stone in 1163 to the ongoing restoration of the cathedral, through the lavish wedding of King Henry IV, the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte, or the construction of the emblematic spire of Notre-Dame, the work of Viollet -le-Duc in the 19th century, tragically destroyed by the fire of 2019.
It is a multi-sensory experience that includes, among others, audio of the cathedral organ and the ringing of the bells, a life-size replica of one of the structure's famous chimaera statues and a projection of the iconic rose windows of the cathedral, which survived the fire. The exhibition brings to life the mastery, art and vision of its architects, artisans and builders throughout its centuries of history, as well as the 21st-century experts who are returning it to its former splendour.
The reconstructions that appear in the HistoPad have been carried out in collaboration with a scientific committee of experts, to guarantee the historical rigor of the research. The technology in this device is accessible to visitors of all ages and levels of technological skill. His stories are presented in 13 languages and are complemented by a virtual treasure hunt for the smallest audience.
