A glimpse of St Peters Basilica from the Vatican Museum Contemporary art within the grounds of the Vatican Some of the many museum pieces within. This one was getting a little TLC Ceilings leading to the Sistine chapel A (dark) view of the crowds heading toward the chapel Some of the many detailed tapestries along the way More ceiling art. This was amazing due to it appear to be sculpted but was in fact just painted on. This hallway contained painted maps of areas throughout Italy ending with this complete one. The accuracy of the maps (created hundreds of years ago) is almost perfect. Entrance to St Peters Basilica The Pietà statue carved by Michelangelo The high ceilings of the basilica. The dimensions of everything were deceiving. St. Peter's baldachin Swiss guards of the Vatican city St Peter's square, currently filled with chairs for the (final) speech from the pope. Bernini made the centre curved to make it appear as if the monuments were smaller than they actually were St Peter's Basilica
