Njguy2 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 This may be of interest to some. I have not seen the exhibition yet. "Bringing 25 rarely-displayed masterpiece drawings by Michelangelo to the United States, Michelangelo: The Genesis of the Sistine will offer American viewers an unprecedented opportunity to experience first-hand the genius of the famed artist. Displaying Michelangelo’s initial studies and early drawings of the famous frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, the exhibition will explore the rich story of the origin of these works, arguably some of the most famous in the world." "Curated by Adriano Marinazzo, Muscarelle Curator of Special Projects, and based on his extensive scholarship, the exhibition highlights new and compelling theories about Michelangelo’s work, including a comparison between The Creation of Adam and a self-portrait, which suggests that the artist may have envisioned himself as the Creator. " Muscarelle Museum of Art (Located on campus of William & Mary) 603 Jamestown Road Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 Timed entry - runs till May 28th. Monday: Closed Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Sunday: 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM https://www.simpletix.com/e/michelangelo-the-genesis-of-the-sistine-tickets-203470 + Vegas_Millennial 1

A friend lent me a book to read about Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel. I found it very interesting and am now looking forward to seeing it in person even more.
