Only a few weeks after the unveiling of a Juan Luna masterpiece, an exhibit featuring Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel:The Exhibition, has arrived in town to thrill anew Manila's culturati, arts enthusiasts, scholars and its Catholic and Christian populace, allowing most viewers a once-in-a-lifetime up-close viewing of one of the world's most beautiful and enduring assemblage of masterpieces.

Brought to Philippine shores by ATIN Global Inc. and SEE Global Entertainment Inc.,the multi-sensory Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel :The EXhibition opens to the public on July 1 and may be enjoyed by viewers until September 30, 2023.

Coming from various parts of the world, including New York, London, Melbourne, Vienna, Los Angeles and Shanghai, the exhibit of life-sized works allows Filipino and Manila-based viewers the rare privilege of discovering right on home grounds the genius of the Renaissance artist whom his contemporaries called "Il Divino" (The Divine One) for his otherworldly masterpieces.

What makes this visual spectacle even more unique is the presentation of Michelangelo's 34 iconic frescoes, such as "The Last Judgement" and "The Creation of Adam", in a never-before-seen format made possible by cutting-edge technology.

The precise reproductions, taken off the ceilings of Sistine Chapel, thus have descended to eye level. As a result, viewers get an upright feel and perception of the divine figures, dynamic compositions, and expressive faces from a clearer perspective which make them relaxed and comfortable as they move around the exhibit hall.

To top the experience, each image is accompanied by informative signage and audio guides, which they can access by downloading the "Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel" app and listen to using their personal headsets.

What takes place then for the viewers is an onsite experience as though they have been magically transported to the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

All roads in the coming weeks lead to this unprecedented travelling exhibition on the second floor, North Wing of the Estancia Mall, Capitol Commons, Pasig City.
