The traveling “Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition” has returned to Charleston. Step into the Vatican Sistine Chapel right here in the Lowcountry and soak up some of the most famous artwork of Michelangelo.

This unique exhibit is located in the heart of downtown at Festival Hall, 56 Beaufain St. Visitors will get to admire a 360-degree angle (including the ceiling) of 34 iconic pieces from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. The art displayed are photo replicas featuring special printing techniques to give viewers the same feel as the original art. The pieces are life-sized, and you will get a close-up perspective.

Some of the work displayed includes “The Creation of Adam,” “The Prophet of Daniel,” + “David and Goliath.” It will take attendees 60 to 90 minutes to look at everything. Pictures are allowed but professional equipment and tripods are not.

We’re mesmerized with all the beauty.

This exhibit will run until Sunday, Oct. 1. All ages are welcome. The tickets start at $21.50 for adults and $14 for children. Pro tip: There are nearby parking garages.

The CHStoday team stopped by last week and were amazed. The immersive experience included peaceful music playing in the background + information about the pieces on nearby signs. There are also QR codes to learn more. Be sure not to miss the “Stories From Genesis.”

News Notes
Announced
  • Filming for season four of “Outer Banks” has been suspended in Charleston because of the national writer’s strike in the television and film industry. Filming began in May and was supposed to be finished at the end of the year. (The Post and Courier)
Development
  • The Main Road Corridor project is slated to begin in early 2024. This project aims to improve traffic, fix drainage issues, and make bikers + pedestrians safer. The project will be in three parts and the Savannah Highway intersection is the first concern. See what else the project will propose. (WCSC)
Drink
  • King Street bars are using Intellicheck, an ID verification program to prevent underage drinking. Businesses along this bustling street pay $100 and use a scanner to crack down on this ongoing issue. Several bars, like El Jefe, have found it to be a success.(WCIV)
Plan Ahead
  • Yogis: You don’t want to miss Yoga at the Angel Oak on Wednesday, July 26 from 10 to 11 a.m. Guests will experience the connection between nature and wellness while practicing a blend of breath and movement. This event is free but limited to 40 participants. Secure your spot here.
Cause
  • S.O.S — it’s time to Save Our Summer with The Blood Connection. Blood centers usually struggle to collect enough during the summer months, with July being the hardest. For helping the blood supply, donors receive $60 in rewards (drives may vary). Learn more + donate.*
Shop
  • On our wish list: the NETVUE Smart Bird Feeder. It identifies bird species + captures live, high-quality footage you can save or share from your phone.*
Finance
  • Refinance rates are skyrocketing. But home equity rates remain relatively low — which means that now is a great time to borrow against your home. Calculate your payment.*

From the editor
I love Italian food and have noticed new spots are popping up around Summerville. I can’t wait to try La Rustica located at 315 N. Magnolia St. I’m digging its lovely outside decor.
