The Journey
Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
Step into a world of unparalleled artistic and historical significance at the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. Home to an immense collection of art amassed by the Popes throughout the centuries, the museums lead to the Sistine Chapel, renowned for Michelangelo's breathtaking frescoes, including the iconic ceiling depicting scenes from Genesis and the Last Judgment. Secure skip-the-line access to maximize your time and fully immerse yourself in this iconic masterpiece of Renaissance art.
Pinecone Courtyard (Cortile della Pigna)
Discover the serene Pinecone Courtyard, one of the Vatican's picturesque open-air spaces. Its centerpiece is a colossal bronze pinecone, believed to have adorned a Roman temple in ancient times. The courtyard offers a tranquil escape amidst the museum's grandeur, inviting contemplation of the blend of ancient and Renaissance art within the Vatican's walls.
"Sphere Within a Sphere" Sculpture
Encounter the thought-provoking "Sphere Within a Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) sculpture within the Vatican Museums. This contemporary bronze sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro represents the Earth's fragility and the relationship between inner and outer worlds. It is a striking contrast to the classical art surrounding it, inviting reflection on humanity's place in the cosmos.
Museo Pio Clementino
Delve into the treasures of the Museo Pio Clementino, a highlight within the Vatican Museums. Wander through the Octagonal Courtyard, where you'll encounter masterpieces like the Laocoön and the Apollo Belvedere, iconic sculptures representing the pinnacle of classical art. In the Round Room, marvel at the colossal marble bathtub and the imposing bronze statue of Heracles. The Room of the Animals showcases a menagerie of ancient fauna sculptures, while the Gallery of the Candelabra dazzles with its intricate 3D painted vaults.
Gallery of Maps
Immerse yourself in the captivating Gallery of Maps, one of the Vatican Museums' most popular galleries. Admire the meticulously hand-painted maps dating back to the late 16th century, depicting the regions of Italy with incredible detail and artistry. Search for familiar Italian cities or your ancestral hometowns, and note the subtle nod to Christopher Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic, showcasing the gallery's blend of geographical accuracy and historical context.
Raphael's Rooms
Behold the artistic brilliance of Raphael's Rooms, a suite of reception rooms in the Apostolic Palace adorned with frescoes by Raphael and his workshop. Painted around the same time as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, these rooms reflect the intense artistic rivalry of the era. Admire Raphael's mastery in works like "The School of Athens" and "The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament," and appreciate the profound influence of classical antiquity on Renaissance art.
Sistine Chapel Vault
Gaze upwards in awe at the Sistine Chapel vault, Michelangelo's unparalleled masterpiece.
