The Archeological Crypt of the Île de la Cité
Exhibition "The Seine"
This exhibition paints a portrait of the Parisian Seine based on a series of objects found in its bed or on its banks, presented alongside the vestiges of the Archaeological Crypt of the Île de la Cité, in the very heart of Paris.
Crypt
Converted in 1980 under the square in front of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral to display archaeological remains discovered during excavations from 1965 to 1972, the crypt provides a unique overview of urban and architectural development of the Île de la Cité island, the historical heart of Paris.
