And while St. John’s fire did not result in a five-year-long closure, as Notre Dame’s did, the smoke from the crypt fire did cause St. John’s to ship its prodigious pipe organ across the country for rehabilitation. The organ played its first notes since its return last month, the same week Notre Dame reopened. The reverend sees symbolic connections in these odds, noting, “Their five years of rehabilitation and our five years of rehabilitation coincided.
Upon entering the cathedral’s St. James Chapel, visitors are invited to grab a “Histopad,” a touchscreen tablet on which they can watch scenes of medieval Paris and see the construction of Notre Dame unfold, introducing them to the different artisans involved in Notre Dame’s construction over nearly 200 years and showing highlights such as the construction of the Gothic choir in the late 12th century and the coronation of Emperor Napoleon I in 1804.
Histovery developed a similar exhibition at the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, in southern France. In it, visitors discover what life was like in the medieval castle that was the papal residence before the pope moved back to Italy in the 14th century. The company also designed the exhibition at the Alamo Museum in Texas, which was dedicated to the history of the 1836 Alamo Battle and the Texas Revolution.
