Michelangelo: A Different View

This once-in-a-lifetime features over 50 stunning pieces, including a life-sized reproduction of The Genesis, famously painted on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. But instead of craning your neck to look up, A Different View invites you to experience Michelangelo’s genius from an entirely new perspective – from above and up close.

This immersive experience, complete with audio guide, allows visitors to admire every intricate detail of Michelangelo’s work, many from just two metres away – offering a far more intimate and comfortable viewing experience than in the Vatican itself, where some 20,000 people queue daily for a glimpse.

Enhancing the exhibition further, VIP guided tours will be led by Dr Christopher Longhurst, a theologian and aesthete who served for 21 years as an operatore didattico at the Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica, and the Vatican Museums' Papal Art Galleries.

During the VIP visits Dr Longhurst will take you behind the scenes to unravel some of the major historical and artistic moments around the frescoes, welcoming questions and discussion along the way.
