Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition®, the renowned touring exhibition that has welcomed over 3 million visitors worldwide, makes its Rhode Island debut this fall.
Opening Friday, October 17 at Warwick Mall, the exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to view Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes up close, at life-size scale—right in the heart of Rhode Island.
Rated 4.8 stars globally, the exhibition faithfully recreates all 34 of Michelangelo’s ceiling and altar masterpieces using licensed high-resolution imagery and an advanced printing technique. From The Creation of Adam to The Last Judgment, each fresco is rendered in vivid detail, allowing visitors to explore the depth, emotion, and artistry of the Vatican’s most celebrated space—without crowds, time limits, or a trip to Rome.
“Two of us had seen the real thing in Rome, but one of us had never been. We all truly enjoyed seeing each panel close-up and the information explaining each one. It’s a stunning look at the artist’s great talent.”

This exhibition is like a sanctuary where you're transformed into a completely different world," said Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE ® Global Entertainment, producer of the exhibition. "When I visited the Sistine Chapel in Rome, there were long lines, and we were rushed through. This exhibition will allow Providence residents and visitors from around the region an opportunity to see the amazing art at their pace and up close – at an affordable price. It is an inspiring and unforgettable experience.”
“We are honored and excited to be hosting Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition,” said Domenic Schiavone, Warwick Mall General Manager. “This is an incredible opportunity for Rhode Islanders and our neighbors in the region to experience the amazing artistry that millions have traveled to Rome to see. The exhibition has toured across the country and indeed the world to rave reviews. We’re confident it will do the same here at Warwick Mall. Having been to the Sistine Chapel myself and witnessed its awe-inspiring frescoes, I look forward to seeing them up close and appreciating the details and majesty of the works.”
