"Vatican Museum aerial shot" Vatican City Things to Do Tip by acemj

I took this from the cupola of St. Peter's as you can see by the giant shadow. The Vatican Museum for me personally, was one of the most interesting museum experiences I've ever had. First of all, there was the anticipation of seeing what most people come for . . . the Sistine Chapel. Secondly, I was excited to see my favorite painting of all time, Raphael's "The School of Athens" and all of his masterful works. The presentation of these works was mind boggling. Every piece of art seems to fit, as if it were in its one and only home and moving the piece would somehow take away from its magnificence.
