FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(West Palm Beach, Fla.) – January 25, 2022 – The Armory Art Center is excited to announce the exclusive Florida exhibition of the internationally acclaimed traveling exhibit, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel from March 11th to April 24th. This traveling exhibition from Los Angeles-based SEE Attractions showcases the awe and wonder of one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements. It is brought to you by the organizers of the finest themed exhibitions such as: Star Trek, King Tut, Titanic, Frida Kahlo, The Art of Banksy: Without Limits, The Museum of Failure and more.
This unique exhibition invites viewers to step into the universe of the greatest masterpieces of Michelangelo, seen from an up-close, life-sized, and never-before-seen perspective. With expertise and care, each ceiling fresco has been reproduced in its near original size. 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, including internationally recognized The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment.
This globally successful exhibition is an innovative and unique interpretation of Michelangelo’s timeless masterpiece. Whether visitors have previously visited the Sistine Chapel or not, everyone can admire the artwork up close, at their own pace, and with the ability to capture photographic memories of this iconic work. Each image is accompanied by informative signage, and audio guides will be available for rent for an even more in-depth experience.
