Millions around the world gasped as the fire on April 15, 2019 engulfed the roof and spire of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. During this presentation, we will follow the history of this hallowed ground, from the first shrines and temples of ancient times to the first cathedral on the site in the 6th century to the Notre-Dame we knew as a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, built between the 12th and 14th centuries. And now, almost four years later, we will follow the developments as restoration efforts continue around the clock. Led by art historian Mary Woodward, who serves as a guide at several Historic New England properties. She previously served as Public Programs Coordinator and Educator at the Concord Museum. Woodward has a B.A. in Art History from Furman University and a M.A. in Art History from Emory University. She has 40+ years of experience in museums of all shapes and sizes, from the comprehensive collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art to the one-room log cabin birthplace of President James K. Polk.
