MOVE THE MOUSE AROUND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.



Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would never see in person, as you

would NEVER be alone in the room. It is ALWAYS VERY CROWDED and of

course you can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here. This is

especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen! Too many

details to view on an iPhone.



TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE,

JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU

WISH TO SEE. In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on

the minus (-) to move away. Choir is thrown in free. MOVE THE ARROW

AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY PART OF THE CHAPEL.

This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible.

Apparently done by Villanova at the request of the Vatican

Fantastic - how do they do that?
I have never been, and apart from all the incredible paintings, I was intrigued by the 'curtains' along the side walls. Some appeared to be painted, and others real fabric - if they were, what was behind them???

Thank you for posting this. I saw the Sistine Chapel years ago, before there were so many crowds and before the paintings were restored. Even then it was an awesome sight. It was nice to see the restoration at my own pace instead of depending on a TV camera.
