'I can imagine that part of the magnificence is seeing the heights Michelangelo literally scaled to paint these masterpieces. Taken out of context and presented in this format, these incredible pieces of art history felt somewhat cheapened.'
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition
. Touted by ads as a highly-anticipated cultural event, the exhibit brings 34 of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescos out of the splendor of the Vatican and into an exhibit space in Estancia Mall, Ortigas, where, for an entrance fee of P650 , visitors may examine the frescos up close – and inevitably use them as backdrops for their next Instagram post.
There was indeed an attempt to transport visitors to another time and place. However, the artificial quality of the details only reinforces the sense that everything there is just a vague approximation of the real thing. Another caveat: to get the full exhibit experience, you need to download the exhibit app and listen to the audio guides during your tour. So unless you’ve prepped beforehand, you may not have earphones immediately on your person or the ability to add an extra app on your smartphone then and there.
