    Notre Dame in Color

    The Notre Dame in Color is an international collaborative research project that brings together scientists, artists, and art historians to enrich our understanding of the multi-chromatic environment of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. Together, we are documenting, analyzing, and developing new digital visualizations of the polychromed sculptures of Notre Dame in order to preserve the cathedral for future generations. Content will be added as work progresses through 2026.
