It begins near the museum entrance, where an expert guide leads you through the galleries, including the Rotunda, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Maps.

Intricate details and artworks from centuries of history fill each space.

Elaborate frescoes, sculptures, and ornate ceilings help make the collection one of the most significant in the world.
