AS PROMISED

though a day late

 

 

The Sistine Chapel

with musical accompaniment

I'm told this virtual tour was done by Villanova
at the request of the Vatican

Here is a wonderful bit of technology that allows
us into a place most of us will probably never see in person

 

Even if we did, we would definitely never be alone in the room.  It's always very crowded and of course you can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here

.

It's especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen

Move your arrow around to get to every part of the chapel
