Stepping into the exhibition feels like climbing scaffolding without the vertigo: the ceiling frescoes arrive at eye level, color and brushwork intensified to four meters instead of the distant twenty. Fluorescent gallery light reveals the cool blues and warm flesh tones that Michelangelo fought to render; visitors move slowly beneath the replicated frames, inspecting cartouches, prophets and the central Creation scenes as if standing on the restoration platform itself.
