Take an incredible journey through the fabulous Vatican Museums with special fast-track tickets, and forget those long lines.
Find out about the incredible history and amazing art that has them rated amongst the best known in the world: the Vatican Museums.
A carefully planned visit has been arranged to provide a good look at the great museum collections, under the leadership of our wise Vatican-approved guides.
The Vatican Museums consist of a preview of various parts.
The word “museums” in the plural form rightly describes all the varied collections in this great building because of its great number.
The Pinacoteca will be our starting point, and here’s a fabulous collection mostly claimed under Renaissance paintings, masterworks attributed to famous artists like Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio.
This part is a true hoard of pieces that have greatly shaped the path of art history.
We will after that visit the Egyptian Museum and see mummies in a very good condition; hieroglyphs and beautiful statues ‘portray’ the past to a far distance.
There is the Etruscan Museum with objects of the bizarre Etruscan culture and some information about their daily life, religion and art; this sits right next to it.
Just beside it is Contemporary Art Museum, where visiting its collection of modern and contemporary works is more or less an ugly experience-such famous pieces of artists like Matisse and Van Gogh.
A really interesting way to look at how art develops while still being a mirror to and an influence on human experience.
Let’s go on to the Classical and Greco-Roman Antiquities.
There are some really great sculptures and things from ancient Greece and Rome.
Among these eternal treasures, we find the famous Laocoön Group and the Belvedere Torlonia which in fact demonstrate the much larger size and simple elegance of these ancient cultures.
For enthusiasts of special collections, the Philatelic and Numismatic Museum is a great perspective on the historical past of stamps and coins through such unusual and valuable items from everywhere.
On the other hand, the Ethnological Museum has artefacts from various world cultures that indicate how much the Vatican was concerned about the treasures of human histories.
Following are excerpts from: room after room, we shall while going through the Tapestries Gallery hear stories represented in them by precious religious or historical meaning Both very valuable ones include The Geographic Galleries, with maps that are an accomplishment of the best Renaissance cartographic knowledge.
You will visit this great Sistine Chapel of course and be stunned by Michelangelo’s frescoes such famous ones in the ceiling The Last Judgment, etc…and receive your date to “find out one of the most booked experiences worldwide!”
