About this experience

The Vatican Museums are a must-see destination for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to experience the cultural heart of one of the world’s smallest but most powerful states. Located in Vatican City, the Museums are home to an extraordinary collection of art, antiquities, and historical artifacts gathered by the Popes over centuries.

Established in the early 16th century by Pope Julius II, the Vatican Museums encompass a vast network of galleries, including some of the most famous in the world, such as the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, and the Gallery of Maps. The collection spans over 3,000 years, showcasing works from the ancient world through the Renaissance and beyond, with pieces by Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and many other legendary artists.
