barbican centre close one year renovation

The Barbican Centre in London will close for one year starting in June 2028 as part of a five-year "Barbican Renewal Programme" to renovate its three gallery spaces and other infrastructure. The City of London Corporation has committed £191 million (about $255.8 million) toward the £240 million ($321.3 million) project, with the remainder to be raised through a fundraising campaign. During the closure, the Barbican plans to collaborate with partners and present programming beyond its walls.

Notre-Dame : pas de suspension pour les vitraux !

On May 19, 2026, the Paris administrative court rejected requests from heritage associations Sites & Monuments and SOS Paris to suspend the removal and replacement of the stained-glass windows at Notre-Dame Cathedral. The associations had sought to block the prefect's authorization to remove the 19th-century windows by Alfred Gérente and install six new contemporary windows designed by Claire Tabouret, arguing legal doubts about the project. The judge ruled that the operation was reversible—since the new panels are the same size as the originals and the removed windows will be restored and displayed—thus no urgent suspension was warranted.
