You no longer need a plane ticket to Italy to see Michelangelo’s masterpiece at the Sistine Chapel. You can get even closer to it in Brooklyn. At Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition®, visitors can get an up-close look at life-sized reproductions of the Renaissance painter’s world-famous ceiling frescoes from the Vatican. If you’re an Untapped New York Member, you can grab a free ticket!
Intricate details and vivid colors of the Sistine Chapel’s 34 frescoes have been reproduced with high-definition photographs from Bridgeman Images, the world’s leading source of fine art imagery. Those details are replicated by a special printing technique that illustrates every brushstroke. Finally, the images are displayed on massive canvasses that bring you five times closer than if you saw the works in person.
As you walk through the exhibition with paintings all around you, you’ll notice informational signage that provides context for the visuals you see. Free audio tours with more in-depth insights are available in multiple languages through the Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel App.
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition® is on view at Industry City through January 5th, 2025. Tickets start at $22. Book your tickets here.
