Step into Michelangelo's Famous Sistine Chapel: The breathtaking, enchanting experience arrives in Birmingham

Birmingham, March 23 - In collaboration with LA-based exhibition production company Special Entertainment Events, Inc. (SEE), and Fever, the leading live entertainment discovery platform, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition is coming to Birmingham from April 8th. 

This globally successful exhibition has wowed visitors in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Madrid, Manchester & London and will now open its doors in the culturally diverse Birmingham at Secret Space, Digbeth.

Having recreated the awe and wonder of one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements, this traveling exhibit brings a totally new perspective to the work, while doing so at eye level. One of the most stunning recreations in the collection is The Last Judgment. This innovative interpretation of the timeless masterpieces can be viewed up close, including The Creation of Adam, in its original size – a towering 41 feet high. Making its debut in the United States at the State Fair of Texas, the exhibition was voted in the top three attractions at the iconic yearly event.

With special expertise and care, the ceiling paintings from the Sistine Chapel have been reproduced in a truly unique way using licensed high definition photos. 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 colour of the artist’s 34 frescoes. Each image is accompanied by informative signage, and audio guides are available to rent for an even more in-depth experience.
