The Sistine Chapel is coming to Denver’s The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace!
Join Angela Nickerson for an evening walk and talk. Michelangelo Buonarroti didn’t consider himself a painter, and he tried desperately to get out of painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but it is hard to refuse the command of the pope — especially Pope Julius II. Join Angela K. Nickerson, author of A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome, as she weaves the story of this battle between a powerful pope and a masterful artist — a battle which resulted in one of the most iconic and celebrated achievements in Italian art.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
We are bringing the Sistine Chapel to Stanley Marketplace! Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition recreates the awe and wonder of one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements, and gives viewers the chance to experience and enjoy Michelangelo's work up close and personal. With special expertise and care, the 33 ceiling paintings from the Sistine Chapel have been reproduced in museum quality at near-original size, allowing visitors to fully engage and study the details of the artwork. The Last Judgment, Michelangelo’s towering altar wall fresco painted 25 years after the ceiling, is also included in the exhibition.
From St. Peter’s Basilica to the Capitoline Hill, this unique resource—part biography, part history, and part travel guide—provides an intimate portrait of the relationship between Michelangelo and the city he restored to artistic greatness. Lavishly illustrated and richly informative, this travel companion tells the story of Michelangelo’s meteoric rise, his career marked by successive artistic breakthroughs, his tempestuous relations with powerful patrons, and his austere but passionate private life. Providing street maps that allow readers to navigate the city and discover Rome as Michelangelo knew it, each chapter focuses on a particular work that amazed Michelangelo’s contemporaries and modern tourists alike.
