Admire these Sistine Chapel art books from a very safe distance

Chances are you won’t be receiving this particular book collection as a Christmas or Hanukkah gift.

The Sistine Chapel presents the entirety of the titular place in three volumes, reports Literary Hub, and will cost $20,000.

Only 1,999 copies will be released, with about a third of those in English.

Why so expensive? Each book is handmade and stands two feet tall, with every bit of the Sistine Chapel represented in its actual size.
