How long did it take Michelangelo to paint the ceiling to the Sistine chapel?

4 years. He stopped and started on it and often redid what he all ready had done. It was 70 feet from floor to ceiling and he had to erect scaffolding to reach the ceiling and laid on his back painting. I have seen the ceiling 3 times and since it was cleaned the figures look like they are moving. The Vatican has a web site for the ceiling so go there to see it.

What is special about the ceiling of The Sistine Chapels?

The ceiling of the Sistine contains a fresco done by Michelangelo. In the center it shows the creation of man by God with man touching reaching hand of God. The rest of the work displays bible stories of various types with the sides of the walls showing the popes andProphets from the bible. The last thing he painted in the Sistine was the Last Judgement on the back wall. This was done many years later and it shows God's judgment of man. By the time this was painted Michelangelo was much older and more judgemental towards his fellow man. The Sistine expresses Michelangelo's neo Platonic thinking that man didn't need the church to be the middle man between man and God. This was against the church teachings and ahead of its time. The ceiling rises 70 feet over the floor the chapel and is vaulted. It took him 4 years to paint. When you look at it today it is very beautiful and moving since it has been cleaned by the Vatican.
