"You can walk up, get close and personal, see the details that Michelangelo put into each piece and really take your time with the art," Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum public affairs specialist Kristin Phillips said.

SEE Global, who runs the exhibit, has brought Michelangelo's art to people all across the world and are excited to bring a new kind of experience to seeing art without buying an international flight.

“You're really up close seeing this from a perspective that no Pope has ever seen," SEE Global Entertainment CEO Martin Biallas said.
