The internationally acclaimed Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition, opens at Irving Mall with a VIP Opening Night Event Feb. 10. The exhibition is a presentation of museum-quality, near-life-size reproductions of one of the world’s greatest artistic achievements.
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. Through 34 artfully displayed reproductions, this innovative presentation includes world-renowned pieces like The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement, bringing them just a few feet away from the audience.
"This exhibition is like a sanctuary, you're transformed into a completely different world," Martin Biallas, CEO of Los Angeles-based SEE© Global Entertainment, producer of the exhibit. "When I visited the Sistine Chapel in Rome, there were long lines and we were rushed through. This exhibit in Dallas 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.”
Guests may enhance their experience by adding an audio guide, with narrative accompaniment available in multiple languages to include Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean and German.
“Irving Mall is thrilled to bring the Michelangelo Sistine Chapel interactive art exhibit to our ever-growing entertainment options at our town center. This interactive and immersive experience is a must-see experience that offers visitors of all ages a unique way to engage with beautiful art while visiting Irving Mall. This is the latest example of the diverse retail, dining, and entertainment landscape that can be found at Irving Mall,” said Jimmy Salas, General Manager at Irving Mall.
This experience for all ages is hands-free, spacious, and perfect for our socially distanced yet innovative world. Timed ticketing limits capacity and physical distancing guidelines provided by public health administrators are in place, to ensure a COVID-safe environment.
"We have had sold-out openings in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Charlotte, Charleston, Atlanta, Nashville, San Diego, Dayton, Cleveland and Philadelphia, and it is our privilege to bring one of Rome's most iconic artworks to the Dallas area," said Biallas.
