Michelangelo At The Crystal Cathedral (10-02-19) - Part 2

 Thanks for stoppin' by and checkin' out the blog! Can't believe it's been over a month since the last time I posted! I've been working so much, lately. And there's so much I haven't been able to do because of it. But once I realized how long it's been since my last post, I didn't want to go any longer without a new post. So let's get back to Michelangelo at the Crystal Cathedral. This is going to be a big post...

When my aunts invited me to go with them to see Michelangelo, I didn't know what to expect. I knew I wasn't going to see his actual paintings, since they are priceless works of art that don't usually travel anywhere. So I was curious to see how his work was going to be presented. When we walked in to the exhibit, I was surprise to see large prints on fabric being displayed. The exhibit was made up of several large tarps with scenes from the Sistine Chapel printed on them. They were accompanied by short stories and explanations that were printed on large signs displayed next to (or below) the tarps. Most of the tarps were strung up vertically (like walls divining the room) while others were hung over head as if they were part of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. In a small room just past the main display, there was a section that showed the scene of "The Last Judgement" as it's painted on the alter wall of the Sistine Chapel. Just outside of the small room was a section of the main room where a short film about Michelangelo's life was showing on a TV. There were several benches for people to sit and watch the film. So I took a seat and learned a little about an amazing artist. Like how he was commissioned by the Pope to paint the chapel and how it took him 4 years to finish painting the ceiling. The main exhibit was small and didn't take long to get through. So I was able to just look at everything and take it all in before going back and taking pictures of everything. I shot everything in order and took pictures of all the tarps (as well as the explanations that went along with them) to share with you all. So with out any further delay, here's the Michelangelo exhibit from the Crystal Cathedral...

 That's it for Michelangelo. But I still have a few more architecture posts from the Museum. The museum was a work of art in itself. The architecture of the museum is also very modern. It almost looks like a spaceship. So I had to take a minute to run around and shoot the building. I was able to get some interesting abstract shots from both the inside and outside of the building. So check back soon for some more architecture, more lowriders, some supercars, and some recent art shows that I've had a chance to check out...
