La cripta de la catedral parisina de Notre Dame ha reabierto sus puertas, tras el proceso de limpieza de las piedras, con una exposición sobre la historia de la ciudad, que va desde la época romana hasta la actualidad.
‘París desaparecido, París restituido‘ es una exposición en torno a las ruinas encontradas entre 1965 y 1972 en la cripta arqueológica, que se halla debajo del atrio de la puerta principal del templo, y estará abierta hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2013.
La cripta, que abrió por primera vez en 1980, estaba cerrada al gran público desde el pasado 7 de octubre debido a las obras de reforma y de limpieza de sus piedras. Ahora vuelve a mostrar los vestigios allí preservados desde el siglo I a.C hasta las reformas del XIX, desde sus inicios como la ciudad romana de Lutecia hasta prácticamente nuestros días, que atestiguan la intensa urbanización desarrollada en la zona.

During the heat of conflict in World War II, a few informants told German troops that one of their own officers was being held in a nearby French town. What ensued was a terrible massacre that only spared a handful of men and women who managed to escape. Children and women were rounded up into a church and burned alive, men were shot in the legs to die slowly in a barn. Today, the remains of the old city still stand as a memorial to the events of that terrible day and the new commune of Oradour has been relocated to a nearby area.
A sad story lies beneath the remains of this sorry looking city. It all started during World War 2, when informants told German troops that one of their officers was being held hostage here.
This turned into a massacre where disturbing events took place, such as children and women were taken to the church and burned alive. The men were shot in the legs and left to die in a barn.
Amazingly a few men and women did actually manage to escape. As you can see in the picture above no one could possibly return – and who would want to?
The city has been left to stand as a memorial and landmark to the people that died on that tragic day. The commune of Oradour however was relocated to a nearby area.
The original village was destroyed on 10 June 1944, when 642 of its inhabitants, including women and children, were massacred by a German Waffen-SS company. A new village was built after the war on a nearby site and the original has been maintained as a memorial.
Construction is nearly complete on Centre Pompidou-Metz, an incredible new extension of the original Centre Pompidou modern art museum in Paris. Designed by architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines, the elegantly sloping structure takes inspiration from the technical properties of Chinese hats and bridges. The building is topped with a curvaceous roof that does a remarkable job of shielding it from the elements while opening up an expansive volume of space dedicated to the arts.
Centre Pompidou, Metz (CPM), France. El primer Centro Pompidou de Francia fuera de París abrirá en la ciudad de Metz, Francia oriental, en el 2008. El nuevo centro fue diseñado por Shigeru Ban Architects (SBA) (Tokio) en asociación con Jean de Gastines (París) y Gumuchdjian Arquitectos (Londres). El centro de 35 millones de euros, con una superficie de suelo total de unos 12,500 m² ofreciendo 6,000 m² de espacio para exposiciones, va a alojar muestras permanentes y temporales y se espera abrirse el acceso para la gente desde más allá de Europa al alcance y la calidad de las colecciones de d’Art Musée Nacional Moderne, almacenadas en el Centro de Pompidou en París. Los arquitectos describen el proyecto como ‘un nuevo tipo de institución pública que puede cultivar y transformarse según el clima o la ocasión’.
