After 500 years, they meet again. Two of the greatest artists in the history of art. Two contrasting temperaments, visions, and creative paths. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo face each other in a unique immersive project presented at Art Box Experience in Warsaw’s Fabryka Norblina.
From February 13, for the first time in Poland, audiences can experience this spectacular exhibition created by Layers of Reality – the renowned studio behind some of the world’s most acclaimed immersive productions, presented in over 50 cities worldwide. Following its success at IDEAL Barcelona, the project arrives in Warsaw as the largest and most innovative production in the studio’s history.
The starting point is a real historical event from 1503 – the legendary artistic duel at Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio, where both masters were commissioned to create competing murals. The exhibition brings this rivalry back to life and invites visitors to actively participate in a story whose finale depends on their choice.
Across eight rooms and 800 m², visitors will discover:
- monumental projections and a 2D and 3D immersive film that takes audiences inside the masters’ works,
- a 360° virtual reality experience transporting viewers to 16th-century Florence and the artists’ studios,
- interactive installations inspired by Renaissance creative studies,
- a final vote in which each visitor chooses their master.
This is a story of rivalry, ambition, and genius. Of art that transcends time. Of a choice that belongs to you.
Step inside. See. Decide.
Team Leonardo or Team Michelangelo?
