Sistine Chapel - "because the artist Michelle created the painting treasures "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" here. The roof "Genesis" covers an area of 300 square meters and consists of nine central pictures, which depict the process of God's creation of the world. The doomsday judgment is on the front wall, full of despair and gloom. The picture depicts Christ gathering all the people before him at the end of the world to distinguish good from evil. Oil painting on the roof of the Sistine Chapel - Genesis artists express their feelings of love and hatred by distinguishing good from evil through God. When Michelangelo wrote, he worked very hard and refused all his assistants. As a result of long-term painting on his back, his neck is stiff, leading to unable to walk normally upright body, reading letters should be placed on the top of his head. Goethe once commented, "People who have never been to the Sistine Chapel cannot understand what a person can do. Originally the Pope's court, the museum was later transformed into the Vatican National Museum. It mainly collects works of art, most of which are the essence of Renaissance art, such as the "Genesis" and "Last Judgment" created by Michelangelo. Meanwhile, for archaeologists, the collection of ancient Greek and Roman cultural relics in the museum is also worth studying. Of course, in addition to the collection, the museum's own architectural style is also commendable.

    It's really super crowded. It takes a long queue everywhere. The most important thing is that the queue is not very well controlled, so you don't know how to queue. But it's worth a visit

    This time I only reserved for a long time. I think it is completely insufficient. The best way to visit this Vatican museum is to ask a tour guide to take you slowly to talk slowly, but at present, my English is not particularly good. Chinese tour guide is more expensive. So I hope I have a better chance to experience it next time I go.

    The Vatican, the smallest country in the world, carries the richest history and religious culture. Every inch of land exudes a strong artistic atmosphere, making people feel like they are in a wonderful museum. Walking into the Vatican is like opening a heavy history book. The history of the Vatican dates back to the 4th century BC, when the Vatican was a small corner of the Roman Empire. Over time, it developed into a Catholic center, carrying the faith and expectations of countless believers. As a Catholic holy place, the Vatican exudes religious solemnity and mystery. The grandeur of the cathedral and the solemnity of St. Peter's tomb are a deep awe and piety. The Vatican Museum is a temple of art, with countless precious sculptures and paintings, showing the treasures of human art. Here you can enjoy Michelangelo's masterpiece "The Statue of David" and feel the master's precise depiction of the human body and deep understanding of the muscles. You can also see Raphael's "Athens School" and appreciate the softness and holiness of his angels. Each piece is the mark of the hearts of artists, making people linger. The Vatican is small but carries the world's richest history and religious culture. It is a holy place of art, making people feel the wonderful and brilliant of human civilization. To come to the Vatican is to enter a wonderful history and experience a eternal beauty of faith and art.

    Simply Astounding ! Is such a huge place full of history , art and architecture! Need at least half a day to fully immerse in it! Can be too overwhelming as there is so much to learn and hear about- best to have a walking guide that explains all the history and art for better understanding! Be sure to come earlier as it is a huge place to find the meeting point or the entrance to Museum or the basilica .
