Experience the Genius of Michelangelo 

Miami Beach, FL – If you can’t make it to the Vatican this spring, Miami Beach visitors will be able to experience the next best thing — a 360-degree digital reproduction of the Sistine Chapel on iconic Lincoln Road. The Michelangelo Immersive runs from May 21 to July 12 at 1212 Lincoln Road.

Presented by Premier X Group, Michelangelo Immersive combines classical art with modern technology across a series of interactive rooms. Life-size reproductions of David, Pietà, Moses and Bacchus are illuminated with dynamic lighting and digital detail, highlighting the artistry and emotion in Michelangelo’s sculptural work. A central feature of the exhibition is a large-scale digital recreation of the Sistine Chapel, where projections of “The Creation of Adam,” “The Last Judgment” and other frescoes are displayed in high resolution.

“Michelangelo’s timeless work reflects the intersection of faith and creativity,” said Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner. “It’s meaningful to welcome this immersive experience to Miami Beach, where residents and visitors of all backgrounds can engage with one of history’s most iconic artistic achievements in an inspiring way.”

“With the eyes of the world now turned to Rome following the historic election of Pope Leo XIV, the timing of this exhibit feels almost poetic, as the artwork adorning the Sistine Chapel ceiling is recreated right here on Lincoln Road. We’re bringing one of history’s greatest masterpieces to life at the very moment the world is reflecting on its spiritual and cultural legacy,” shared Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who has championed the exhibit. “This is the crown jewel of our pop-up permit program and the result of months of hard work. Hosting the Michelangelo Immersive Experience marks a bold new chapter for Miami Beach as a global arts and culture destination. We’re welcoming a world-class exhibit and setting the stage for a more vibrant and culturally rich city.”

The commissioner recently sponsored a legislative change that makes it easier for pop-up events like the Michelangelo Immersive to gain city approval. The legislation extends Miami Beach pop-up permits up to a full year and allows pop-up bars and restaurants to occupy vacant spaces that had been used by similar businesses in the past.

Additional elements of Michelangelo Immersive include educational programming, guided storytelling and a retail boutique featuring themed books and collectibles. Whether new to Michelangelo or familiar with his legacy, the exhibition invites visitors to engage with his work in an accessible, modern format that emphasizes both historical context and creative expression.

We’re thrilled to bring the Michelangelo Immersive to Miami Beach, offering locals and visitors a unique opportunity to experience the genius of the Renaissance in an entirely new way — right here on Lincoln Road,” added Johanna Guttmann of Premier Exhibitions Group, LLC. “It’s a celebration of art, history, and innovation that’s both inspiring and accessible for all ages.”
