Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris suffered heavy damage on April 15, 2019. According to CCTV news reports, on March 6, local time, Notre Dame Cathedral held an exhibition to introduce the progress of restoration work. Restoration work is speeding up with a view to reopening Notre Dame to the public by the end of 2024, staff said. The exhibition introduces the restoration work since the fire in the form of thematic films, architectural models, post-disaster rescue objects, videos, and photographs.
Lisa Belgnat, head of the cultural coordination and planning department of the public restoration agency of Notre Dame Cathedral, said: When it reopens, Notre Dame will present an unprecedented appearance, especially the interior decorations, such as paintings, glass windows and sculptures, etc., and the brightness of the surface of many paintings will be unprecedented.
It is worth mentioning that after the unexpected fire at Notre Dame, Ubisoft announced a donation of 500,000 euros for the restoration of Notre Dame. At the same time, Assassin's Creed: Revolution was also used as a reference drawing for the restoration.
Ubisoft designers spent 2 years restoring the original appearance of Notre Dame Cathedral in the game, claiming to be restored down to every stone of the building.
When Notre Dame Cathedral is restored and reopens, will Ubisoft once again give away Assassin's Creed: Revolution to all players for free?
