Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition brings 34 life-sized photos of his Sistine Chapel ceiling, one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements, up-close for what organisers call ‘a never-before-seen perspective.’
I’ve often wondered why organisers of photo-based shows don’t duplicate them for multiple locations…well this one has. There are 9 ‘kits’ and they are showing in cities globally.
The location in Marseille is the Palais de la Bourse down at the bottom of the Canebière It is the headquarters of the Marseille-Provence Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a lovely building to be able to visit.
The photos were taken post-renovation in the 1980-90 timeframe and so the colours are very bright, true to the originals. The technology used for repro is by Silicon Edge Graphics which ensures you can see detail down to brushstrokes.
Admission is daily, 13.50 euros for adults.
