“Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition” with Samsung Tablets

Seoul visitors will also have exclusive access to a reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris in its current state amidst renovations.

Created by French startup Histovery through exclusive sponsorship by L’Oréal Groupe and in partnership with Samsung Electronics, “Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition” offers an immersive experience with Samsung Galaxy Tab Active series tablets. 

Starting July 2, the exhibition will move to Seoul, South Korea for a two-month (July 2 to September 1, 2024) run at the National Palace Museum of Korea, giving visitors the opportunity to discover more about one of France’s most beloved monuments.

“Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition” presents an exclusive dive into the cathedral’s heritage — from the laying of the first stone in 1163 to the ongoing restoration efforts, all through the eyes of today’s builders. 

The exhibit was designed and produced by Histovery in collaboration with public institution Rebuilding Notre-Dame de Paris, and thanks to the sponsorship of L’Oréal Groupe. 

In what will be a first in Korea, this experience combines physical scenography and augmented reality, presented on the all-new Galaxy Tab Active5 and HistoPad solution, alongside thousands of other Galaxy Tab Active series tablets supplied by Samsung and operated by Histovery for all its projects.

Hosted at the National Palace Museum of Korea, a former royal residence dating back to the 14th century, exhibition visitors will use the Galaxy tablets to scan the 21 “Doors of Time” and discover 3D reconstructions of the cathedral at several key moments in its history. 

Seoul visitors will also have exclusive access to a reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris in its current state amidst renovations, as the HistoPad solution has been updated to reflect the latest restoration effort of the building’s iconic spire.

“We’re delighted to be part of this ambitious project, harnessing our innovative mobile technology at the service of history. By creating this truly immersive experience, our hope is to bring to life the renowned history of Notre-Dame de Paris at a global level, sustaining one of the greatest architectural stories out there,” said Frédéric Fauchère, Director & Head of B2B Mobility Division, MX Business at Samsung Electronics France.

“This augmented exhibition sponsored by L’Oréal Groupe celebrates the extraordinary history and splendor of Notre-Dame de Paris,” said Bruno de Sa Moreira, co-founder, CEO and executive producer of “Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition.”

Visiting 15 cities across four continents, the exhibition will travel for the duration of the restoration project before the reopening of the cathedral to the public on December 8, 2024.
