DESCRIPTION

Our journey through the VATICAN MUSEUMS continues with a new and fascinating chapter! After exploring the treasures of antiquity and the masterpieces of the Renaissance we now venture deeper into the HEART OF THE PAPAL PALACE along the grand corridors where art takes on every imaginable form. In this exclusive online tour led by our expert archaeologist we’ll begin with the GALLERY OF THE CANDELABRA an elegant space adorned with marble columns CLASSICAL SCULPTURES and ornate details that blend the refinement of ancient Rome with the splendor of the papal collections. We’ll then move on to the GALLERY OF TAPESTRIES where monumental woven scenes—some based on Raphael’s designs—bring sacred stories vividly to life. Here we’ll also enjoy a few CLEVER OPTICAL ILLUSIONS hidden within the designs proof of the Renaissance artists’ playful mastery of perspective and perception. Our journey will culminate in the breathtaking GALLERY OF MAPS a corridor entirely frescoed with depictions of Italy as imagined in the late 1500s. Your guide will reveal why this extraordinary space might just be called the “GOOGLE MAPS OF 1582”—a tribute to the VISION AND PRECISION OF ITS CARTOGRAPHERS.
