This Traveling Exhibit of Michelangelo's Greatest Works Is Coming to Manila

(SPOT.ph) It goes without saying that Michelangelo is one of the most renowned artists the world has seen. It's a shame that seeing most of his works requires traveling to various galleries and churches in Europe, which can get pretty expensive. But lucky for us art aficionados, we can finally experience the wonder and brilliance of Michelangelo's greatest works without leaving the country—thanks to the upcoming Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition that's headed our way this July at Estancia Mall in Pasig.

Here's everything we know about the upcoming Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel exhibit in Manila:

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition runs from July 1 to September 30 at the second floor of Estancia Mall. Details regarding ticket prices, reservations, and viewing schedules are yet to be released. However, the organizers have announced that tickets will be available through the Sistine Chapel Philippines website starting April 1. 

This exhibit brings the artist's work closer to the people. Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition was previously held in Shanghai, Melbourne, Berlin, Vienna, etc. In this traveling display, guests can experience Michelangelo's art "up close, life-sized, and in never-before-seen perspectives."

If you're wondering how all this is possible, special printing techniques, high-definition photography, and next-level art expertise have been employed to reproduce the ceiling paintings and artworks from the Sistine Chapel as close to the originals as possible. This allows visitors to engage with the 34 frescoes, look at every detail, and experience Michelangelo's art like never before. Each image is also accompanied by informative signage, and there are also audio guides for rent to give visitors an even more in-depth museum experience. 

So if you want to experience the magic of Michelangelo's artworks sans the trip to Vatican City, you might want to stay tuned and book your tickets as soon as they come out. 

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition runs from July 1 to September 30 at 2/F Estancia Mall, 1605 Capitol Drive, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. Tickets go on sale on April 1. For more information, visit Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Exhibition Philippines' website.
