Stanley Marketplace is bringing the Sistine Chapel to its 10,000-square-foot hangar

The Stanley Marketplace will welcome its first large-scale art exhibition this summer as it recreates Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes from Renaissance master Michelangelo. "I visited it when I was in college in the late '90s, and when you're there you're sort of straining upwards and looking from far away in a really big crowd," said Bryant Palmer, chief storyteller at the Stanley.

The funny thing about some of the metro area's biggest cultural exhibits is that they have little to no Colorado ties.
