The Vatican Museums are huge. About 1400 rooms store more than 6.000 works of art. Already at the entrance you are picked up by a huge stream of people and carried through all the halls. Frescoes, paintings, sculptures, stunning ceiling paintings (especially in the Gallery of Geographical Maps) and the apotheosis of action - the Sistine Chapel.
By the way, among other things, the Sistine Chapel is famous for the fact that it is here that conclaves are held - meetings of cardinals to choose a new Pope. The results of the election can be recognized by the color of the smoke from the chimney above the chapel - black smoke - the Pope was not elected and white smoke if the election took place.
