Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition Comes To San Diego

The Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Exhibition is bringing one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements to the Mission Valley Mall!

Well, not the real thing of course, but it is showcasing the awe and wonder of the Sistine Chapel in a unique way, allowing visitors to experience this art from an up-close, life-sized, and never-before-seen perspective.

HD photos bring the art to life

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 color 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.
