| This statue was at the entrance of St. Peters Museum, it was gorgeous. |

| When we went into the Sistine Chapel they would not allow anyone to talk or take pictures. It was a very sacred room, so all the pictures we have are in our heads. Sorry I can not share those with everyone. We stayed in the Sistine Chapel and sat on benches and looked at each individual fresco, each told a story. For example Michael Angelo did the creation which was in the center of the ceiling(which is familiar to everyone). He painted 12,000 sq. feet of the ceiling between 1508 and 1512. Today the ceiling and especially "The Last Judgment" was his crowning achievement. The frescoes depict the life of Moses and Christ. |

| Art work in the Museum |
 |
| I loved learning the meanings behind the Art. The colors were so vibrant and detailed. |
 |
| I loved this art piece. They are removing the Savior from the Cross after the Crucifixion. The expressions in the faces were so real. |
 |
| Art work was everywhere, you had to stop to take it all in. Unfortunately, you have to move with the crowd or try to stand off to the side. There was so much to see and such little time. |
 |
| This is a rug which had tremendous detail, it was amazing. |
 |
| This hall of fresco's was the direction to Rafael's room and the Sistine Chapel which was done by Michael Angelo |
 |
| This rug was the largest I have every seen, each Muriel told a story from the artists point of view. |
