Millions flock to Italy to see Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, but here in the United States people have been driving to Iowa to see a new take on a classic work of art. Waterloo, Iowa, has its own Sistine Chapel, thanks to a local artist Paco Rosic. This version of the original masterpiece is half the size and is created entirely out of spray paint. Independent Producer Kyle Gassiott has the story from Iowa.
