Michelangelo is coming to Miami—and no, not in marble.
A jaw-dropping, fully immersive art experience dedicated to the Renaissance master is set to open at 1212 Lincoln Road this May, marking the U.S. debut of Michelangelo: The Immersive Experience.
Brought to life by Premier Exhibitions Group (the team behind hits like The Museum of Failure in San Francisco and Escher. The Exhibition & Experience in New York), the exhibition goes beyond the traditional, transporting visitors deep into the artist's genius using cutting-edge tech, theatrical design and some art-world cred.
In the show, which opens on May 9, you’ll stand face-to-face with a towering reproduction of The David, marvel at a complete 360-degree digital recreation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and literally walk through a tunnel of “Heaven and Hell” to get there. Not exactly your average gallery visit.
The real kicker, however, is the hands-on Creative Lab that invites you to channel your inner Renaissance master by sketching, sculpting and getting creatively messy in a space inspired by Michelangelo’s own process.
Art-world veterans Josephine Bodogh and Johanna Guttmann are the forces behind the experience. Bodogh, known for her work connecting European artists to U.S. audiences through her North Miami Beach gallery JBContemporary, and Guttmann, who previously brought a photographic Sistine Chapel exhibition to Brooklyn, are on a mission to make high art feel accessible and, dare we say it, fun.
Open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 7pm (last entry at 6pm), the exhibition promises to be a feast for the eyes, soul and your Instagram grid. Whether you’re Renaissance-obsessed or need something to do between beach days, this is a cultural deep dive you won’t want to miss.
Tickets start at $25 for adults and $17 for children. For more information and tickets, visit MichelangeloImmersive.com or follow @MichelangeloImmersive on Instagram.
