FINAL WEEKS! Viollet-le-Duc Drawing Worlds to close on May 24

Don’t miss this widely-acclaimed exhibition of drawings by Viollet-le-Duc (1814–79), the architect responsible for the nineteenth-century renovation of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, whose meticulous plans guided its restoration after the 2019 fire.

In addition to plans and models for the cathedral, the exhibition features breathtaking drawings and watercolors reflecting Viollet-le-Duc’s practice of drawing, thinking, and imagining the world as it might be.
