On April 15, 2019, flames engulfed the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. Locals and foreigners alike looked on, mourning the fate of the 12th-century marvel. Firefighters eventually stopped the blaze, saving the bell towers, the Grand Organ, the rooftop beehives, the glass rosette windows, and many other relics. Though much damage was sustained in the roof region, the facade remained intact. A few weeks after the disaster, a collection of 17th-century religious paintings was removed from the site, to be restored by experts. Those 76 paintings are now going on view at the Mobilier National, along with 14 wondrous tapestries. The church itself will be reopening later this year, and what an occasion that will be. —Elena Clavarino
