Hull Minster is expecting the reproductions of the Florentine master to attract as many as 50,000 visitors, as it is the only venue in the North to host the work.

The exhibition, from October 8 to November 18, will feature 50 large-scale reproductions of the Sistine Chapel works including the famous “Creation of Adam” and “The Last Judgement”.
