FfFfFfFF 58,371 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Every year, thousands of art history lovers flock to Rome to view some of the greatest masterpieces from the Renaissance. Now, a new immersive experience by production company SEE Attractions Inc. brings one of the most beloved Italian frescoes to the United States. Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition is a new show in San Antonio, Texas that boasts true-to-size, museum-quality copies of the Renaissance painter's magnum opus inside the historic Lambermont mansion. The exhibition features 34 reproductions of scenes from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, such as The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement. However, instead of struggling to look at these works from below, visitors will be able to view each scene at eye level. “Our aim is to bring you the art Michelangelo created close up,” Martin Biallas, the CEO of SEE Attractions Inc., tells San Antonio Magazine's Vivian Philips. “ Source - https://mymodernmet.com/michelangelo-sistine-chapel-the-exhibition-san-antonio/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Lovers 7,694 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 This is really cool honestly. I've had the privilege of getting to see the chapel in person and have longed to go back ever since. This exhibit is a cool way to bring a small piece of it to people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreu 37,216 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I know many people think copies arent worth going to see because it goes against singularity of art pieces but this looks so incredubly amazing If they did something like thia around here I would 100% go.

CautiousLurker 19,725 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's pretty neat that you can get so close to them - the paintings are pretty high up in the chapel... A crowded room of people looking up and squinting to try and find God - even Vatican is not without a sense of humor, I guess, even if it's unintentional It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
