In this recreation of the Sistine Chapel, we can stand in awe of the great paintings that we most likely would never be able to see in real life and without the incredible crowds that would normally be there. This chapel was on Vassar Island and is an excellent recreation. When there, the scale is incredibly off. It doesn’t nearly convey the awe that comes with being in such a massive work of art. The amount of people visiting the real Sistine Chapel is beginning to wear down the artwork because of the humidity and carbon dioxide given off by people. This digital version is a good way to view the art that’s safe for the art for years to come. It’s not as grand as the real thing but it is safe. It’s safe for the art and for the student.
