April 17th, 2025 – This spring, Miami Beach welcomes the soul of the Renaissance with a transformative exhibition unlike anything previously seen in the U.S. Michelangelo Immersive, set to open in early May at 1212 Lincoln Road, offers guests a rare opportunity to step into the world of Michelangelo Buonarroti—arguably one of the most influential artists in Western history.
A bold fusion of classical genius and contemporary innovation, the experience invites visitors to go beyond the canvas and beneath the fresco. Through lifelike recreations and multi-sensory environments, Michelangelo’s masterpieces are not only displayed, but felt—down to the emotion carved in David’s gaze and the divine tension suspended in the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling.
The exhibition is the brainchild of Premier Exhibitions Group, led by internationally recognized curators Josephine Bodogh and Johanna Guttmann. Known for rethinking how audiences engage with art, the duo has a history of bringing world-renowned experiences to new audiences, from The Brueghel Dynasty Exhibition in Asia to The Museum of Failure in the U.S.
Now, they are taking on Michelangelo—not in the hushed halls of a European museum, but through an immersive, cinematic lens that invites touch, movement, and reflection.
At its core, the experience is designed to bridge time and perception. You won’t simply view Michelangelo’s work; you’ll walk among it, feel its emotional force, and leave with a deeper understanding of the spiritual and humanistic themes that shaped the Renaissance.
Guests will encounter a towering reproduction of Michelangelo’s David, scaled to emphasize the intricate anatomical precision and psychological intensity of the sculpture. It’s an arresting moment of encounter—designed not for distance, but for intimacy.
Perhaps the most dramatic element of the exhibition is a 360-degree recreation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, complete with thematic tunnels symbolizing Heaven and Hell. Guests emerge into an expansive visual cathedral where they can look up, as Michelangelo once did, and marvel at the frescoes that transformed the trajectory of art history.
Visitors are also invited to channel their own creativity in The Creative Lab, an interactive space inspired by Michelangelo’s relentless pursuit of beauty, proportion, and meaning. Here, guests are not just viewers—they become part of the artistic process.
Unlike traditional museum settings, Michelangelo Immersive is open to all ages and levels of art familiarity. It's an educational tool, a moment of meditation, and a spark of inspiration—perfect for first-time explorers and lifelong admirers alike. With generous open hours from Wednesday to Sunday, 10AM to 7PM, the experience promises both accessibility and depth.
“To make art more engaging, inclusive, and relevant, by honoring its roots while adapting it for contemporary audiences.”Josephine Bodogh, Curator and Art Connoisseur
