PARAMUS, N.J., March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition®, the renowned touring experience that has welcomed millions of visitors worldwide, is coming to New Jersey. Opening Friday, April 10, at Westfield Garden State Plaza, the exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to view Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes up close and at life-size scale.
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, every fresco is rendered in vivid detail, allowing visitors to explore the emotion, depth, and artistry of the Vatican’s most celebrated space—without crowds, time limits, or a trip to Rome.
The exhibition has earned high praise for its accessible approach to art appreciation, enabling visitors to see every detail, brushstroke, and color of the frescoes at their own pace, with informative signage and audio guides enhancing the experience.
Tickets are now available at houseoflive.com/sistine-chapel-new-jersey. The exhibition will run for a limited time. General Admission tickets start at $28, with discounted admission for seniors, military, students, and children. VIP Tickets include any time entry and a souvenir guidebook.

“This exhibit was wonderful. I doubt that I may ever have the opportunity to visit the real Sistine Chapel, so this exhibit gave me an informative and beautiful representation of what I might see. Plus, the visuals were large and up close so I could see more detail and really experience the artistry and talent and spiritual insight of Michelangelo. I took part in the audio tour which was very informative.”
