It’s cheaper than flying to Rome to see the real thing — and you won’t have to strain your neck looking up at a 60-foot high ceiling.
I’ve heard you can find anything at the mall, but the famous frescoes of the Sistine Chapel? It’s true — in a way — at Westfield Oakridge shopping center in South San Jose.
Perspective and an opportunity to see the art — which Michelangelo worked on from 1508 to 1512 — much closer than you would staring up at them 60 feet in the air. The 34 fabric panels in the exhibition, including some full-size replicas, are detailed enough to see the brush strokes in God’s robe, facial expressions on cherubs and the musculature on Adam and Eve.
That same sentiment, Leong said, is what brought the touring exhibition into existence. Martin Biallas, who founded SEE Global Entertainment, visited the Vatican in 2014 and was impressed with the art but not his experience as a visitor. The company spent a year developing the exhibit before its debut in Montreal in 2015, followed by a U.S. premiere in Dallas in 2016. There are four other shows touring the United States and Europe right now, in addition to the Oakridge exhibition.
