Michelangelo’s most famous work is here with a spectacular exhibition of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel at 433 Opry Mills Dr, Nashville, TN 37214. These iconic frescoes have decorated the walls in Vatican City for over 500 years, but now you can see them come to life in your own city until doors close for good on January 16th.
The beautiful paintings will be part of a life-sized display that you can view up close for a truly unique perspective. After wowing guests in cities including Charlotte, Atlanta, and Chicago, this one-of-a-kind experience is expanding across the rest of North America and Europe. We couldn’t be more thrilled to see it arrive in Nashville.

Visitors will be treated to a truly special view of the artist’s 34 frescoes that was never before possible – not even at the Vatican!

The Covid-safe, family-friendly experience lasts about 60-90 minutes, and there are a limited amount of tickets still left.
The Sistine Chapel was painted between 1508 and 1512 in Michelangelo’s signature fresco style, where he used wet paint on the freshly plastered walls and ceilings of the Apostolic Palace in Rome, Italy. The fresco method of painting makes the work blend into the plastered surface it’s painted on overtime. Michelangelo finished his work between 1535 and 1541 with the renowned piece, titled The Last Judgment, which visitors can also marvel at in this innovative and cutting-edge interpretation of one of the world’s most famous interior paintings. This enchanting experience showcases dozens of his stunning creations.
Don’t miss this globally successful presentation before it leaves Nashville for good on January 16th! Be sure to grab these limited time tickets to see Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition, happening now at the Opry Mills Mall.
