All I can say about going to the Vatican and its amazing museum is – WOW!!! The museum and Duomo (church) are so huge, that you feel really small when you are there.
The coolest thing about the Vatican Museum besides the art in it is the fact that they let you take photos in the museum and the church. I haven’t been to a museum in years that will let you take photos and I was pumped. You are not allowed to take any images of the Sistine Chapel, but I could live with that.
The Borghese Museum was more painting orientated, with a few sculptures here and there that are very famous and you couldn’t take photos. The Vatican Museum was full of sculptures and object d'art and the church is so huge, you just can’t imagine the scale of it until you are in it. I saw about a half dozen other churches around Rome and the Vatican is above and beyond.
It has been raining most of my stay here in Rome, but that kept the air fresh and clean. The real challenge on rainy days is maneuvering around all the umbrellas and not getting hit in the eye.
Check out the slide show, it is packed with interesting stuff.
