UAE: Dubai Expo offers close-up of Michelangelo’s David from neck up – Gulf Digital News
Expo Dubai visitors flocked to see the 3-D twin of Michelangelo's David in all its glory at Italy's pavilion.
The head and neck of the six-metre-tall reproduction of the Renaissance statue are showcased in an octagonal structure at first-floor level while the genitalia and legs are visible at a lower level reserved for functions and select visitors.
Artistic director Davide Rampello said the aim was to provide a new experience by allowing visitors to see David at eye level, whereas art lovers have to look up at the original statue at the Galleria dell'Accademia museum in Florence.
