It was supposed to be the highlight of our trip, "THE SISTINE CHAPEL". It was so disappointing to be herded like cattle to the middle of the room and told we can't talk and we can't take pictures and we were standing there in the middle of the room. What should have been awe inspiring was disappointing only because it's... More 

Following a tour around the Vatican Museums, our tour guide explained the paintings seen within Sistine Chapel. It is really worth while either reading about these paintings before you go, or getting a tour guide once you are there. Once you understand what is behind the paintings, you can appreciate the work.

Also just by looking at the paintings one cannot understand... More
