If you are looking for one of the richest art collections in the world, you must visit the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The vast museum contains artistic treasures from different periods, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and beyond.
Starting with the Sistine Chapel, which is undoubtedly the masterpiece of the museum, visitors can admire the details of Michelangelo’s creation of the world on the ceiling, as well as his representation of the Last Judgment on the wall behind the altar.
But the Vatican Museums offer much more. In addition to religious works of art, the museum also houses collections of classical, Egyptian, Etruscan, and pre-Columbian art. Do not miss the Pio-Clementino Museum, which contains classical statues such as the Laocoonte and the Apoxyomenos, as well as works by Renaissance artists like Raphael.
Among the rooms of the Vatican Museums, you can find the Gallery of Tapestries, which houses a series of handmade tapestries depicting the life of Christ. Another must-see room is the Gallery of Maps, where geographical and topographical maps representing Italy and the world are displayed.
Not only works of art, but also architecture. The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece with its courtyards, gardens, and rooms that house historical treasures.
