Vatican Museum

Sphere within the Sphere by Arnaldo Pomodoro

The 6th largest museum in the world and 5th most visited.

The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani) are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Popes throughout the centuries including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world.

There are 54 galleries, or salas, in total, with the Sistine Chapel, notably, being the very last sala within the Museum.

Thanks to the Irma for this Vatican postcard!
