The Frick Collection’s Post

This one’s left me feeling all mushy and profound, so bear with me…😂 Today is a day that 5 years ago many thought would never happen, Notre-Dame is reopening after the devistating fire that nearly destroyed it in 2019. Yes, Notre-Dame is a shining example of the shared connection we have with our built heritage, but also shows that the significance of heritage goes beyond the buildings themselves. Heritage gives meaning, enjoyment and comfort to people from all walks of life. These cultural icons are not only architectural and artistic marvels, but they chart human experience from years gone by whilst also providing inspiration for the future. The events at Notre-Dame are also an example that these places should not be taken for granted. They are often delicate and vulnerable to disaster - with dedicated teams of people working hard to ensure they’re preserved in order to delight both present and future generations visiting them. They’re a great metaphor for the Culture Sector as a whole, often taken for granted, but essential to bringing us the opportunity to learn and grow as people. It’s a day that makes me proud to be contributing to the continued longevity and success of the Culture Sector, long may it continue ❤️ https://lnkd.in/eJvn_q4i
