Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition · Reviews

Excellent displayed. Not crowded plenty of seating to take it all on. Audio was easy listening and interesting. Wonderful experience

Loved the experience. Seeing the paintings up close was amazing and the audio guide added to the experience. It was lovely to see our students actively engage with the exhibition.

Sistine chapel paintings up close, with text and QR code triggered audio explanations. Brings Michalangelo's meaning to life. Take headphones of some form. Calm atmosphere, cool spacious hall, seating benches, but no refreshments. Parking though not extensive.

Brilliant exhibition. Terrific to see the life-size paintings up close and a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were also very friendly and helpful (one loaned me his phone for the commentary when mine packed in!!). Well worth the money, and now I don'e need to go to Rome!

Absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend. The frescos we’re life size, and through the audio recording they became ‘alive’. Well organised, staff extremely friendly and helpful :)

It was a wonderful experience to see up close the replications of the paintings of the Sistine Chapel. I had some difficulty with the QR code, but eventually found I could get the audio from the catalogue.

Really enjoyed seeing the art close-up and learning about the works. Would have been great to walk round with some fizz or an Italian coffee too. A very memorable experience.

An excellent experience offering the chance to see up close the stunning work of Michelangelo. Very well organised in an excellent space.

Would have been 5 but for the American commentary when using the App,

The process of booking a ticket and redeeming it on arrival was very straightforward. The exhibition was excellent. I especially liked the fact that I could get so close to the pictures and see far more detail than I would be able to if visiting the actual Sistine Chapel – the marketing blurb about being able to see every brushstroke really is accurate. The audio guide worked really well and included enough detail about each picture to be interesting without being overwhelming.

A fascinating experience to see the real life size replicas of the paintings from eyelevel perspective. Appreciated the short introduction videos. Did not use the Q code facility. Having visited the chapel before the restoration appreciated the colours.

Brilliant exhibition. Well organised, easy access and the information was fabulous. Really enjoyed walking around at my own pace and learning about the detail on each painting. Fabulous idea for an exhibition. Well done

A truly amazing experience, well worth the visit, so pleased I went to see it. Would highly recommend

I didn't know what to expect but the recreation is amazing. The video overview sets the scene expertly and answers the the burning question of what medium the paintings are made from.

I found out things I’d not known and the fun facts were good. The stories behind each fresco were informative. I really enjoyed it- a good fun way to learn. I’d been to the Chapel but not heard any stories. 1 woman walking listening to her phone annoying and background music a little too loud.
