Here is an amazing bit of technology that you’ll probably never see in person, and 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!
The Sistine Chapel: Virtually view every part of Michaelangelo’s masterpiece.
Just click and drag your arrow in the direction of the part you wish to see.
In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-) to move away.
The choir is thrown in free.
AMAZING! 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 ..
Thought you would enjoy the quality and a bit of Rome on your computer. Amazing what can be done with technology.



I was there in 2004. The virtual tour doesn’t show all the benches around the sides of the chapel, which is still not enough provide seating space for everyone in a typical crowd. My tour group grabbed some space and then shared it among ourselves. Photography is strictly forbidden, so this virtual tour is probably the best way to see the place.
