Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel paintings are considered one of the most ‘supreme masterpieces’ in art history and now we lucky Londoners can marvel at them, without straying too far from home. Of course, the chapel itself hasn’t been airlifted over from Rome, but the famous ceiling paintings have been reproduced using licensed high-definition photos of the originals and a special photo printing technique that makes the results look and feel as if they’ve come straight from Michelangelo’s hand.
Factor in loads of signs telling you the stories behind them, plus audio guides to help you go even deeper, and the whole experience is very much ‘pristine Sistine’.
