Rendez-vous de l'Alliance with the Historic New Orleans Collection

For the November 2022 Rendez-vous de l’Alliance, we’re partnering with The Historic New Orleans Collection and Histovery in celebration of Novembre Numérique (Digital November,) a month where French institutions around the world promote access to new technologies and the extraordinary diversity of the French digital creation.  

Meet Kent Woynowski, The HNOC’s Digital Assets and Initiatives Manager and discover the new augmented reality experience "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition" by Histovery based on the Notre Dame Cathedral before and after its infamous 2019 fire. Attendees will learn about the process of bringing an exhibit like this one to the Historic New Orleans Collection, the place of digital arts in the modern cultural sector, and even get a chance to try out the AR experience.  

This event is completely free and open to the public.

The exhibit "Notre-Dame de Paris: The Augmented Exhibition" at The Historic New Orleans Collection is completely free and on exhibit at The HNOC from November 15, 2022 to March 1, 2023. 

Kent Woynowski is the Manager of Digital Assets and Initiatives at The Historic New Orleans Collection, where he has worked since 2009.  A native New Orleanian, he manages THNOC’s digital projects for in-gallery and virtual exhibits and oversees THNOC’s media production and photography activities.  

The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) is a museum, research center, and publisher dedicated to the stewardship of the history and culture of New Orleans and the Gulf South. Founded in 1966 through the estates of General L. Kemper Williams and Mrs. Leila Moore Williams, THNOC has helped local residents and visiting tourists better understand the multicultural history of the region through thought-provoking exhibitions; original books, periodicals, and articles; and its public research center. In addition, it offers a robust programming schedule and an extensive array of educational resources for teachers and students of all levels. THNOC operates three campuses in the heart of the French Quarter. In observance of our founders’ request to make historical resources available to all, admission is free.
