Dozens of drawings Michelangelo made while planning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel will go on view at the Muscarelle Museum of Art after a monumental feat in networking and logistics by the Williamsburg, Virginia museum ahead of the Renaissance master’s 550th anniversary.

Curator Adriano Marinazzo, an architect and Michelangelo expert, has organized a show that offers an extremely rare chance to see 25 drawings that were used to plan for the celebrated ceiling and another fresco in the Sistine Chapel known as The Last Judgment.
