This immersive Michelangelo exhibit is opening in Miami next month
A jaw-dropping, fully immersive art experience dedicated to the Renaissance master is set to open at 1212 Lincoln Road this May, marking the U.S. debut of Michelangelo: The Immersive Experience.
Brought to life by Premier Exhibitions Group (the team behind hits like The Museum of Failure in San Francisco and Escher. The Exhibition & Experience in New York), the exhibition goes beyond the traditional, transporting visitors deep into the artist's genius using cutting-edge tech, theatrical design and some art-world cred.
In the show, which opens on May 9, you'll stand face-to-face with a towering reproduction of The David, marvel at a complete 360-degree digital recreation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and literally walk through a tunnel of 'Heaven and Hell' to get there. Not exactly your average gallery visit.
The real kicker, however, is the hands-on Creative Lab that invites you to channel your inner Renaissance master by sketching, sculpting and getting creatively messy in a space inspired by Michelangelo's own process.
Art-world veterans Josephine Bodogh and Johanna Guttmann are the forces behind the experience. Bodogh, known for her work connecting European artists to U.S. audiences through her North Miami Beach gallery JBContemporary, and Guttmann, who previously brought a photographic Sistine Chapel exhibition to Brooklyn, are on a mission to make high art feel accessible and, dare we say it, fun.
Open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 7pm (last entry at 6pm), the exhibition promises to be a feast for the eyes, soul and your Instagram grid. Whether you're Renaissance-obsessed or need something to do between beach days, this is a cultural deep dive you won't want to miss.

Four-bedroom Victorian home has wowed house-hunters as it hits market – but wait until you see horrors that lurk inside
The home's fireplace is particularly eerie DARK DECOR Four-bedroom Victorian home has wowed house-hunters as it hits market – but wait until you see horrors that lurk inside Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS glamorous Victorian home is known as the "Lavender House' because of its soft, painted exterior. However, the four-bed house - which is on sale for nearly £900,000 - hides a shocking secret. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The home in Hastings has a annexe to use as an Airbnb Credit: rightmove 6 However, the inside of the main home has a sinister feeling Credit: rightmove 6 Mythological fauns are carved into the fireplace Credit: rightmove Located in Hastings, East Sussex, the glamorous Victorian home looks like the ideal house. With high windows looking out to the street, it is one of the biggest houses on the quiet road. It is built in a classical style, which exudes glamour and high class - something topped off by its coat of lavender paint. The front door has an ornate metal pattern and a frosted window, which looks onto a flight of of stairs taking visitors up into the house. However, that whimsical impression quickly begins to fall apart when entering the house. Pictures on Rightmove reveal that a pair of Renaissance-style saloon doors lead to a cupboard under the stairs, but things get really creepy when you head further in. The fireplace is decorated with a ghoulish design, depicting medieval style fauns lifting cherubic children into trees. The fauns have horns growing from their heads and their goat-like legs, complete with cloven hooves. Also, the house comes with a 'very traditional' toilet, with a wooden seat and 'thunderbox' fittings. Most of the walls are painted in a ghostly lime green and all of the floss are made of wood, which Rightmove says gives the impression that the house is 'breathing'. Iconic Grand Designs 'perfect' house which couple spent 20 years 'painstakingly' renovating hits market for £1.5million The huge rooms - set across three floors - are sparsely furnished, save for Victorian-style furniture. Much of the furnishings are covered in white shrouds, matching the lacey curtains cloaking the windows. The house is currently owned by an artist, who converted a separate annexe to the rear into an AirBnB letting. The seller is asking for £899,950 for the home which is a 15 minute walk to Hasting's station. It sits in the famous All Saints Street, which has several pubs and houses built in classical styles. Hastings made headlines just months ago, after another glamorous home went on sale in the area. St Ann's Cottage on Castle Hill Road has five-bedrooms as well as a centuries-old cave. The 18th-century home was on sale for £600,000 after being listed at £350,000 just a year earlier. 6 The toilet is built in a very old-fashioned style Credit: rightmove 6 The walls are painted in an eerie lime green Credit: rightmove

Beyoncé sends fans wild as she reunites with Destiny's Child after seven years
Pop superstar Beyonce had an epic end to her Cowboy Carter world tour as she was joined by her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams on stage Beyoncé celebrated the end of her record-breaking Cowboy Carter tour with a very special reunion with her Destiny's Child bandmates. She brought the curtain down on the tour in spectacular fashion as the band reunited for a series of hits. The pop superstar performed her final show at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium and was joined by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. They performed their mega hits Bootylicious and Lose My Breath. Destiny's Child also gave a rendition of Beyoncé's Renaissance track Energy as well as the viral "mute" challenge. The last time the trio performed together was back in 2018 when Kelly and Michelle made a cameo at Beyoncé's Coachella show. They split back in 2005, with the fresh reunion sparking a huge frenzy among their fans as they declared it the "perfect ending" to the tour. One fan said: "THE HUGGING AND HOLDING HANDS AT THE END??? I'M FALLING TO MY KNEES." Another added: "The Cowboy Carter era changed my life, just like renaissance did, and I cannot imagine where act 3 will take us. Oh Beyonce the once in a lifetime artist you are." Someone else commented: "Oh when Destiny's Child reunites, it's not nostalgia - it's divine timing... Beyoncé closed Cowboy Carter with the loudest mic drop in history." A fourth wrote: "Y'all will never understand how iconic this is considering they're one of the most successful girl groups of all time." Another shared: "Beyoncé closing Cowboy Carter with Kelly and Michelle by her side feels like the perfect ending." The tour wasn't always smooth sailing for Beyoncé, however, as she had her unreleased music stolen during a stop. According to a police report, the music was taken from a car in Atlanta. Footage showed plans and concert set lists were also taken from the Jeep Wagoneer. Beyoncé, who has won 35 Grammy Awards since 2001, stoically continued to impress her fans despite the news. In addition to the music, two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, luxury clothing and accessories, and "sensitive material" belonging to the star were stolen, police said. Earlier in the tour, Beyoncé almost fell out of a car, which was propelled into the air at a concert in her home city. While performing in Houston during her flying car stint, the cables appeared to be uneven and left Beyoncé tilting over the edge until she was brought back down. In videos taken by fans, the singer kept it professional and was cool, calm and collected while the incident was resolved. The star since addressed the situation with humour on Instagram. She shared a video montage of her show, including her car malfunction, along with the caption: "Sittin' Sidewayz". The tour, which began in late April, has taken Queen Bey to several large stadiums across Europe and the US.

Beyonce sends fans into a frenzy as she reunites with Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for the 'perfect ending' to her Cowboy Carter tour in Las Vegas
Beyonce brought the curtain down on her record-breaking Cowboy Carter tour in spectacular fashion on Saturday night, as she reunited with her Destiny's Child bandmates for a medley of hits. As she took to the stage for her final show at Las Vegas ' Allegiant Stadium, the hitmaker was joined by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a medley of 2000s hits Bootylicious and Lose My Breath. The trio also delivered a rendition of Beyonce's Renaissance number Energy, including the song's viral 'mute challenge.' It was the first time Destiny's Child had performed together since Kelly and Michelle made a brief cameo in Beyonce's Coachella performance back in 2018, following their split in 2005. It was no surprise that the performance sent die-hard fans into a frenzy, with many declaring it the 'perfect ending' to Beyonce's tour. Posts on X included: 'THE HUGGING AND HOLDING HANDS AT THE END??? I'M FALLING TO MY KNEES 'The Cowboy Carter era changed my life, just like renaissance did, and I cannot imagine where act 3 will take us. Oh Beyonce the once in a lifetime artist you are. 'Oh when Destiny's Child reunites, it's not nostalgia - it's divine timing... Beyonce closed Cowboy Carter with the loudest mic drop in history 'THE DESTINY'S CHILD B*****H I LIFE FOR THISSSS; The way my innter 2000s self just screamed 'SOME PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ICONIC THIS WAS; 'You thought this was just a tour? Nah baby, it's a family reunion with rhinestones 'Y'all will never understand how iconic this is considering they're one of the most successful girl groups of all time 'Beyonce closing Cowboy Carter with Kelly and Michelle by her side feels like the perfect ending.' It comes after Beyonce's tour was plagued with a string of incidents from poor ticket sales, on-stage tech malfunctions to choreography issues. Beyoncé recently concluded her epic six-night concern run in London and her shows in Paris. She closed out the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour and brought out her husband to perform their hit single Crazy in Love in the French capital as the couple took the stage together for the first time in seven years. Her concert in France was a family affair as she was also joined by their daughter Blue Ivy on stage and had her mom Tina Knowles supporting them. After performing in cities around Europe, Beyonce performed in her hometown of Houston, Texas and experienced a horrifying moment when she suffered a stage mishap with a mid-air prop. At one point during her show on June 29, the red convertible she rides high above the crowd during her performance of 16 Carriages tilted dangerously, threatening to throw the Cowboy Carter artist off the car and into the audience. Still, Beyoncé returned to the main stage and finished the performance like the consummate professional she is. After the show, Beyoncé's team released a statement addressing the incident. 'Tonight in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium, and see her fans up close, to tilt. 'She was quickly lowered and no one was injured. The show continued without incident,' Parkwood Entertainment said.
