Sistine Chapel recreated in New York City

Michelangelo's masterpieces are visiting New York City. Well, sort of. Thirty-four nearly life-size museum-quality images of the Renaissance painter's frescoes that adorn the Vatican's Sistine Chapel are now on display in the Oculus World Trade Center transportation hub. The exhibit is called Up Close because it does just that. It allows you an up-close look at Michelangelo's famous pieces, including The Creation of Adam. The centerpiece of the show is the 40-foot-by-40-foot replica of the iconic painter's The Last Judgment.
