Description
Life-Size, Up-Close, Never-Seen Perspective of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition recreates the awe and wonder of arguably one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements while allowing its visitors to experience this art from a new perspective.
With special expertise and care, the ceiling paintings from the Sistine Chapel have been reproduced photographically using state of the art technology. In order for the observer to fully engage and comprehend the artwork, the paintings have been reproduced in their original sizes. The overwhelming impression for the observer will be the dimensions of the art, the closeness to the picture, and the modern style of the exhibition. As a result, the visitor can explore the artwork up close at a distance impossible to achieve in the Sistine Chapel.
The introduction and information in the pre-show area of the exhibition will prepare visitors for a new staging of Michelangelo’s works and awaken their curiosity. The exhibition structure itself is transformed into a piece of art through the creative use of suspension poles and scaffolding forms – an innovate and unique interpretation of Michelangelo’s timeless masterpiece. Guests who have already visited the Sistine Chapel will find a new way of observing the art. Visitors who have never seen the originals will be intrigued and inspired to visit the Sistine Chapel at some time in the future.
A state-of-the-art video and audio tour will take visitors through the history behind the artwork. We welcome you to discover more about the stories in the Bible and Michelangelo as an artist. To begin, follow the central Genesis cycle on the ceiling above you. From the entrance, move step-by-step to the other side. From there, the audio tour takes you on a clockwise path through the images of the prophets and sibyls, the lineage of Christ and the corner paintings. The culmination of the tour is the monumental painting of the “Last Judgment,” which you can find at the end of the exhibition room.
We hereby invite you to plunge into the universe of Michelangelo.
