Under licence from the Vatican Museums, “Michelangelo – A Different View” is currently being presented at Tākina convention centre (50 Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011) until February 8.
Among the more than 50 pieces on display includes a life-sized reproduction of Michelangelo’s famous “The Genesis,” which includes “The Creation of Man.” While the original is on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, visitors to Tākina can look down – no need to crane necks.
There’s also a 5.4-metre by 5.4-metre version of “The Last Judgment,” and scenes from the lives of Jesus and Moses, painted by Sandro Botticelli, Pietro Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Cosimo Rosselli, and more.
