He painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and designed the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, but first and foremost, he saw himself as a sculptor – and his huge David sculpture in Florence is known worldwide. In the spring of 2025, we will focus on one of the most famous figures in Western art: Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564).


Michelangelo in the Digital Age

In the exhibition Michelangelo Imperfect, SMK will juxtapose its own extensive collection of historical casts of Michelangelo’s sculptures with brand new, high-quality 3D-cast replicas. This way, you can experience the majority of Michelangelo’s sculptures in one place – something that would be impossible with the originals, which are never moved. You will also be able to see the largest selection of Michelangelo’s original drawings, letters, and sculpture models ever displayed in Denmark.

Join us as SMK unfolds Michelangelo’s life and art through close studies of his sculptures and focuses on the complex relationship between original and reproduction in the digital age.
