THE VATICAN MUSEUMS
The Museums and Papal Galleries define the Vatican. They preserve more than 70,000 objects plus another 50,000 that are securely stored. From ancient Egyptian works of art to classical statues, from the picture gallery to the Ethnic Museum plus a rich contemporary art collection. This is a museum complex of such extraordinary importance, which includes; the Niccolina Chapel with paintings by Beato Angelico, the Borgia apartment decorated by Pinturicchio, the rooms of Raffaello and finally the beautiful Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s frescoes.
The Vatican’s museums are of exceptional importance for its richness and valuable works of art that they hold and for the beautiful environment where they are kept.
It was Pope Giulio II who began the collection, enriched over the years by his successors.
The Museums are divided into several sections, which include the works of art of every age: ancient Egypt, the Etruscan civilization, the Greeks and ancient Rome.
Some of the Greek-Roman sculptures are among the most famous in the history of art: Apollo of Belvedere, the group of Laocoonte, the Apoxyomenos, and the Torso Belvedere. The Picture Gallery and the Vatican Collection of modern religious art together with works of the great masters of the past, (such as Giotto, Beato Angelico, Leonardo and Tiziano) and also of the present (such as Carrà, Guttuso, Morandi, De Chirico, just to mention the Italian artists). Other rooms host tapestries, maps, candelabras, even the coaches used by popes and cardinals.
The two authentic ‘jewels’ of the Museums are the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael rooms.
