There is a special exhibition coming to Fremantle, Western Australia. It seems it has been to a lot of other cities and now we will be getting the chance to see it. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings have been reproduced using licensed high-definition photos.
A special printing technique gives the paintings the definition and look of the originals. The panels are being erected in such a way as to enable the audience to get quite close so as to be able to see the detail of the drawings.
The location for some reason is a secret at the moment but we know it must be in Fremantle because the advertised parking is there.
The photo was taken within the Vatican City. The staircase reminds me of a giant snail or shell.

Wow that would be interesting to watch once they are done and open to the public. I think the technology nowadays is so amazing that they could copy a masterpiece and antique art piece just like that. Hopefully, you could visit it and maybe take a picture as a souvenir.

I'm looking forward to seeing it and seeing just how good it is. If it has toured the world, it has to be a bit special.

Ooh, that sounds wonderful! We have a Van Gogh exhibit coming to town, but frankly I’d much rather see the Sistine Chapel exhibit!

It seems it's a floor to ceiling thing and you can take photos so it should be really interesting.
