Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums are located in viale Vaticano in Rome, within the Vatican City State. They are one of the largest art collections in the world, since they exhibit the huge collection of works of art accumulated over the centuries by the Popes.

Galleries with masterpieces of classical and Renaissance art, in addition to the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel.

The museum was founded by Pope Julius II in the 16th century. The Sistine Chapel and the papal apartments frescoed by Michelangelo and Raphael are part of the works that museum visitors can admire on their way.

Every year, more than 18 million people admire the masterpieces displayed in the 7 km of halls and corridors of the Vatican Museums, the fourth most visited museum in the world in 2015.

The Vatican Museums, which occupy a large part of the vast courtyard of the Belvedere, were visited in 2015 by 6 002 251 people, confirming themselves as the most visited museum in the Italian peninsula, since they are located in a territory that does not belong to the Italian Republic (in this sense the the most visited Italian art museum is the Uffizi Gallery in Florence)
