00:02A taste of the Vatican in the heart of Sydney.
00:06The idea was suggested as we started to see these innovative technologies come through
00:10for use with other exhibitions and we thought the Sistine Chapel is an incredible, iconic,
00:16universal landmark and how can we combine the two?
00:21A new exhibition next to St Mary's Cathedral is bringing the Sistine Chapel to life.
00:27The Sistine Chapel is something you can never really exhaust, there's so much new knowledge,
00:32so much ideas about why precisely did they do this or that, so the entire project was
00:37extremely exciting.
00:38Attendees learn about the chapel's history before being immersed in the artwork.
00:43The Last Judgement, so the massive altarpiece that everyone is captured by, that huge artwork
00:48is painted at a time of turmoil.
00:50This has got to be the best part of the exhibition though, it is the immersive exhibition.
00:57which has replicated the Sistine Chapel's artworks for Sydney-siders to come and take a look at.
01:03It's pretty cool, pretty scary really, overwhelming.
01:08Centuries old art serving as an inspiration for the modern day.
