Description
Have you ever dreamt of going back in time? Take a life-size, up-close, never-before-seen perspective of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. With special expertise and care, the ceiling paintings from the Sistine Chapel have been reproduced in a truly unique way using licensed high definition photos. Brought to life using a special printing technique that emulates the look and feel of the original paintings, visitors are given a chance to engage with the artwork in ways that were never before possible: seeing every detail, every brushstroke, and every color of the artist’s 34 frescoes. Each image is accompanied by informative signage, and audio guides are available to rent for an even more in-depth experience. Those who have already visited the Sistine Chapel will find a new way of observing the art and who have never seen the originals will be intrigued and inspired to visit the Sistine Chapel at some time in the future. We hereby invite you to plunge into the universe of Michelangelo.
