A private art project has very recently constructed a replica of the Sistine Chapel in Mexico City's art deco "Monument to the Revolution". The life-size representation is being showcased temporarily and its creation was approved by the Vatican itself. It was fabricated using over 2.7 million photographs of Michelangelo's paintings, printed on cloth, and hung from ceiling's metal framework. Not only does the replica include the frescos of Michelangelo, but also multiple sculptures and decorations. The creative director and producer of the project, Gabriel Berumen, claims the idea struck him upon entering the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. He recalls his brother asking him if he thought recreating it would be possible. And surely it was, in Mexico. This instance was the first time the Vatican approved such a project -- one that could make its way around the world. The replica of the Sistine Chapel measures 5,490 square feet, and can be visited for free, from Tuesday to Sunday, until July 25 at Plaza de la República s/n. Mexico DF.
