Hey culture enthusiasts! 🌟 For the first time ever, four original sculptures from the iconic Notre-Dame de Paris are on display in China! 🎉
These historical masterpieces have made their way to the National Museum of China in Beijing, as part of an epic exhibition celebrating the cathedral's rich history and ongoing restoration. 🏰✨
So, what's on show? We've got a mystical chimera and a legendary gargoyle—both stepping out of France for the first time ever! 😱 Alongside them, marvel at a Gothic column capital and a mysterious human face enveloped in vegetation. Talk about spooky season vibes! 🦇🌿
This isn't just any exhibition—it's an augmented reality experience that's part of the big celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, coinciding with the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism. 🌍❤️🌏
The exhibition officially opened its doors on September 12, and we can't think of a cooler way to bridge cultures and history. So, if you're in Beijing, grab your friends and check it out! 📸✨
Who else is excited to see these legendary pieces up close? 🙋♀️🙋♂️
