This event will recreate the awe and wonder of arguably one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements while also 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 using state of the art technology. In order for the observer to fully engage and comprehend the artwork, nearly all of the paintings have been reproduced in their original sizes. The overwhelming impression for the observer will be the details of the art, the closeness to the picture, and the modern style of the exhibition.
As a result, visitors can explore the artwork up close at a distance impossible to achieve in the Sistine Chapel. The exhibition is an innovative 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.
“We are thrilled to serve as the only Washington State venue for Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition. We look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors from near and far to the awe-inspiring experience of viewing larger-than-life reproductions of these beloved works in an up close and intimate way,” said David Fischer, Executive Director of Broadway Center.
For art lovers and the devout both, this exhibit allows a way to experience the work in a contemporary and curated experience, uncluttered, self-timed and in-depth. Guests may enhance their experience by adding an optional audio guide.
The exhibit is a licensed exhibition of Special Entertainment Events, Inc. (SEE), a LA-based exhibition production company which acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to the fresco reproductions from Bridgeman Images.
