Michelangelo's New Sacristy
Designed by Michelangelo, the Sagrestia Nuova is a 16th-century addition to the Basilica, created to honor members of the Medici family. Along the way, you’ll see how Michelangelo brilliantly combined architecture and sculpture to reflect his take on human existence. Although Michelangelo left the chapel unfinished in 1534, the work that remains is a testament to his genius.
