ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — If you wanted to see the Sistine Chapel, but COVID ruined your plans, Explore St. Louis is bringing it here.
"Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel" is an exhibit that will be hosted at America's Center starting Friday, November 6th.
"Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition will allow residents and visitors alike to enjoy a world class artistic and cultural experience right here at the America's Center Convention Complex," said Kathleen (Kitty) Ratcliffe, President of Explore St. Louis.
"After travelling the world with this exhibit , we could not be happier to bring it to St. Louis," said Martin Biallas, CEO of Las Vegas-based SEE Global Entertainment, producer of the Sistine Chapel Exhibit. "The city has a rich history of supporting the arts; we can't wait to see Michelangelo's work to come to life at America's Center."
Social distancing and other COVID-19 guidelines will be in place, but you'll have as much time as you want with the art, as compared to the 15 minutes you get at the actual Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
But you will need a timed ticket, and you can get those here.
