"On we went from chamber to chamber through galleries of statues and vases and sarcophagi and bas-reliefs and busts and candelabra - through all forms of beauty and richest materials - till the eye was dazzled and glutted with this triumph of the arts. Go and see it, whoever you are. It is the wealth of the civilized world. " (R. Waldo Emerson). Let's explore the Vatican Museums, home to an extraordinary collection of art & historical artifacts.
