Rome boasts many artistic highlights, but few are as overpowering as Michelangelo's
frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. A kaleidoscopic barrage of colours and images, they come
as the grand finale of the Vatican Museums, Rome's largest and most popular art museum.
Inside the vast complex, kilometre upon kilometre of corridors are lined with classical
sculptures, paintings and tapestries as they lead inexorably towards the Raphael Rooms, a
suite of four rooms brilliantly frescoed by Raphael, and, beyond that, the Sistine Chapel.
