Vatican Museums
The Vatican Museums, which is one of the world’s most important museums holding a great art collection was founded by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century. The exhibits are displayed along the vast 7 km long halls and corridors. The collection ranges from Egyptian mummies and Etruscan bronzes to busts of ancient figures, and some modern paintings. The highlights of this remain to be the spectacular collection of classical statuary in the Museo Pio-Clementino, a suite of rooms frescoed by Raphael and the bewitching Michelangelo-painted Sistine Chapel.
