What’s Happening?

Hull Minster is hosting an unmissable exhibition, Michelangelo: A Different View, to showcase Michelangelo’s world-famous paintings from their home at the Vatican. Approved and licensed by the Vatican Museums, this enthralling display is set to be an acclaimed event. Between 8th October and 18th November 2019 at Hull Minster, you can get up close and personal to the magnificent artwork from the ceilings of the Sistine Chapel. 

With Hull being the only location in the north of the UK, this family-friendly exhibition is certain to attract visitors from near and far to the cultural city of Hull. It is the only exhibition set to showcase the entire set of Michelangelo’s wonderful works. 

These breath-takingly detailed paintings have been regarded as some of the greatest works of art on earth. The exhibition will bring the Sistine Chapel to life in Hull, with a series of high-quality photographs transferred onto fabric. Visitors will be able to view the masterpieces up close for the first time, where you can wander at your leisure without the masses of sightseers at the Vatican Museum in Rome.

The History

This exhibition will truly highlight and bring appreciation to the intricate details of Michelangelo’s work. The Sistine Chapel at the Vatican Museum attracts over 6 million visitors a year and the original masterpieces are suspended 22 metres above the heads of the guests. In 1508, Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the vast ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where he spent four years creating his masterpiece. The artwork was eventually completed in 1512 where it has been appreciated for over 500 years.
