cATHEDRAL Museum

From the Crypt visitors enter the cathedral via two staircases under the two towers. Here they can look round the cathedral as its being restored. Once people have finished exploring Notre Dame from ground level, they then exit out of the north transept where stair or lift access takes them up onto the scaffolding walkway. My strategy for Notre Dame involves a deliberately prolonged period of restoration, in contrast to the rushed 5 year plan currently in action. Once the structure is made safe, Notre Dame will be used in conjunction with the research facilities in the centre for heritage and preservation, to relearn and practice techniques and skills required for architectural preservation. This will allow for the education of craftsman and academics so that we might be better equipped to preserve other structures in the future.
