Salt Lake City, Utah.- The internationally acclaimed Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition opens Friday, Apr. 29 in Salt Lake City. The exhibition is a presentation of museum-quality, near-life-size reproductions of one of the world’s greatest artistic achievements.

“This exhibition gives visitors a chance to engage with Rome’s most iconic treasures in ways that were never possible,” said Martin Biallas, CEO of Los Angeles-based SEE© Global Entertainment, producer of the exhibit.

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition is a collection of the artist’s renowned ceiling frescoes from the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, reproduced in a format that allows viewers to get face-to-face with the masterpieces.

This exhibit in Salt Lake City allows everyone an opportunity to see the amazing art at their pace and up-close at an affordable price and enjoy an inspiring and unforgettable experience.”
