Making stones speak. Notre Dame’s Medieval Sculptures

From 19 November 2024 to 16 March 2025, the Musée de Cluny - Musée National du Moyen Âge is hosting an exhibition on medieval carved decorations from the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Not since the early 1980s have cathedral sculptures in storage at the museum been the subject of such in-depth research. The exhibition "Making Stones Speak. Notre Dame's Medieval Sculptures" vows to deepen our knowledge on these collections by revealing the findings of a major research and restoration programme, underway since 2022.

The curatorial team is spearheaded by Damien Berné, Head Curator at the Musée de Cluny and responsible for sculptures.
