The Vatican Museum is huge and it includes not only expositions like a Pinacoteca, but also many richly decorated galleries, as well as at the end a wonderful ethnographic exhibition of the countries of Africa, Oceania, and America. Walking through the Vatican Museum, its palaces and basilicas of Rome, you wonder what a huge amount of money the priests have grabbed from the people, how they have been parasitizing their religious manipulations for a long time, and how they are mired in luxury and wealth. It seems that the popes did not think about identifying with the modesty of Christ, but tried to take everything from this life))) Historical knowledge confirms this. But it's still worth going to the museum, as it is very interesting and beautiful!

An interesting place, first of all with exhibits, of course, which remind us that once the Vatican, officially named so in 1929 in an agreement with the Italian government, was the center of the "Papal Region", a theocratic state in Italy in 756-1870, although Rome was the capital, so the exhibits in the form of expensive cars are impressive, but I admit that I was more surprised by the carriage and other attributes used by heads of state, Tsars, Emperors, Kings, although I knew the general history, but I could hardly imagine how this could be when the church ruled the state, sometimes I forget that the Vatican and today the state is headed by a priest, I why did I remember this, he is chosen by voting Cardinals, well, like the electoral college in the United States, for example, by the way, the film "Conclave" of 2024 by Edward Berger has just been released, I recommend it!
What I have always been interested in is how the word Vatican is translated, which means, to my surprise, I learned that the city-state stands on the site of Nero's Circus, which began to be built under Caligula, so the word Can, Canis in different European languages means Dog, Dog, and the word Vati can be translated as a Dish, a Bowl, Taz, the point here is with which word to connect, so in the Circus of Nero, which had the shape of an oval, races, gladiatorial fights and of course entertainment with dogs and other animals and peasants were held, so on the one hand, St. Peter's Cathedral was erected on the site of the demolished Circus, but the name that has been used since the last century it has much deeper roots, there is such a play on words with substitution of meanings, but at least it is clear why, although the word Vati can be translated as Dad, but with the word Can, it turns out no better! ^_^ What is important in this place?! It gives an understanding that is lacking today, not just shows the history, but clearly demonstrates, in a way, exhibits as evidence in the case, although I must admit, studying the history of the Vatican by reading articles about Popes, coups, indulgences and permits for closely related marriages, the development of Europe is an exciting activity, there were times when Popes they really were Dads, but let's go back to our museum!)) Among all that you can see very, very expensive things, there are not those that are passed off as expensive, but really expensive, some because they are the work of skilled craftsmen in their field, in fact, hence the Art, and not these all modern kalyaki-malaki that are given out for them, then understanding comes also, what kind of Forgery is everywhere in the modern world, someone calls Something art from another continent and imposes it on everyone else!
The word "Rich" in this case is very appropriate, I must say that the Vatican is in principle very Rich, I'm not talking about the Vatican bank and income from parishes around the world where there is a presence of the Catholic Church, no, I mean, complex patterns, mosaics, elements, paints, the Vatican itself, as one big The museum is interesting to compare with Russian Museums and architectural monuments, we have something to show off, but the difference or difference in cultural heritage is obvious, although we had a policy of Europeanization, for example, under Peter I, it is noticeable that we and the former colonies of Italy-the Vatican, are not the same thing, Italy is very attractive in historical and cultural terms. in an architectural sense, and the Vatican, it is like a precious stone adorning the crown, inside which there is a Museum, with the most precious, someone will say that it is painting, others that it is ancient books or cars, here for every taste and color, some will feel dependent or defective, others on the contrary pride in their individuality, everything It depends on the person!

It's a beautiful place. Even the queue for tickets was worth it. It was a day off, Saturday, it was 2 o'clock, but the time flew by unnoticed.
It's beautiful, you can spend the whole day looking at the beautiful exhibits.

The film is informative, but nevertheless, during the duration of this film it would be possible to give more information about the collection of the Vatican museums. The thing is , in my opinion , there are a lot of unnecessary screensavers that are not related to the theme of the film .

A very beautiful place associated with culture, art and faith, a huge number of world works, great sculptors, artists, I recommend visiting when there are few tourists, early in the morning at the very opening and preferably the end of November, the beginning of December

The place is worth visiting. We walked to the Vatican from Rome) it was very atmospheric.
There are a lot of people. It is not very clear where to go, in the museum itself. Again, we read everything on the Internet first.
It's impressive. We were there on Monday. On Sunday, the Pope goes out on the porch to bless the parishioners.

Queue. It's huge in the morning. At the same time, buying a ticket online day in, day out for a specific time is not a big problem. However, you need to defend another queue for your time. It's generally beautiful, but there are a lot of people. And the Sistine Chapel - if you decide to take pictures of it (which is forbidden), then do not forget to turn off the flash, otherwise you will be taken away by security. I don't know where to go.

It is better to visit on your own, go through the tour without impressions. It is better to prepare and choose the most interesting place to visit. There are several cafes on site. You can sit and relax in the park. There were some problems with card payments.

Tickets and excursions were taken via the Internet. Then we ran around the square looking for the entrance to the museum). If you are facing the Vatican)), then go to the right and arrive in advance, 30 minutes in advance. There is something to see. Listen too, join a group or take a personal guide. If you are on your own, without a guide, then you will miss a lot of interesting facts. Take some water with you as the tour will take 2-3 hours.

Of course, everyone needs to visit the Vatican Museum at least once, at least virtually... This is a whole complex: gardens, sculptures, paintings, frescoes... And everything is fine! You need to book tickets very early and on the Internet... It is better to have the earliest or the latest session.... So that the crowd does not interfere with admiring, as well as taking selfies and photos...By the way, we were able to buy tickets to the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel for only 48 euros, but with dinner and a glass of wine... There are many complex tickets in Italy...

"Dreams [and trips abroad to the Vatican Museum] are very necessary for people.
Even impossible ones.
Only in a dream [on a trip abroad to the Vatican Museum] can you feel yourself again as you will never be again" - "I would... [he sucked in a single sip] of a glass - and into the Vatican!"..

The museum's collection is impressive, but the crowds are what's at the entrance (with pre-purchased tickets), what's inside. But what can you do about it

It's worth a visit. But you need to be prepared for crowds of people. Time also needs to be planned - 4-5 hours. There is an average queue for tickets at the ticket office for 30 minutes-1 hour, if not during the season itself. Resellers have a certain amount of time - from 50€.

Of course, a place for a mandatory visit. There are always a lot of visitors, but if you are a regular at such museums, come to the "long day" 2 hours before closing time and enjoy antique sculpture, paintings and frescoes alone!

Tickets must be purchased in advance. A guided visit is optimal. It's like our Hermitage can't be bypassed in one day. A very interesting place with its own history and treasure trove. You can see the Sistine Chapel at the end. And then he will go to the Cathedral of Peter and Paul.

In order not to waste half a day in line, I recommend buying an excursion. We went in 7-8 minutes. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but it's much easier this way. The museums made a huge impression on us. The Sextine Chapel is just a dream!

A huge museum that sells more tickets than the museum can accommodate. Therefore, I recommend visiting in October, November, January, February, March! Put in 3-4 hours at once. It's very big. In high season, walking through the museum, as at a demonstration, it is difficult to see something. In the picture gallery (pinakothek), there are always fewer people to pull from it. By evening, there are no fewer people. There are a lot of exhibits, especially sculptures. It is always better to buy tickets in advance so as not to stand at the entrance. But remember, there are always Russian guides in front of the entrance to the square near St. Peter's Cathedral, who will take you without waiting in line and take you through the museum. I recommend this option, otherwise you will spend a lot of time and you will not see the main pearls of the collection.

You definitely need to see it once. Everything is very interesting, but there are too many people, queues everywhere. It is best to take a guide, it is difficult to navigate yourself, or alternatively watch a video story before visiting.

Well, there are no words, delight, I have been to the museum twice, I want to come and come here again. But the advice is to look at and read about this place beforehand, the perception will be completely different!

It is better to buy tickets in advance, 6 months before the visit. Then it will cost you 23 euros. Because otherwise you will have to pay 80 euros for the ticket.
But in the metro at the Colosseum station, you can buy a combo tour for 71 euros = Vatican + forum + Colosseum. I recommend buying 1-2 days before visiting the museum, as there are practically no tickets every day.
I can tell from the museum itself how it will go for me, for the general development. But there were more impressions from visiting the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. I think you won't lose anything if you don't get there. Well, that's my vision.

We visited the Vatican Museums on September 21. It is better to take tickets in advance. Otherwise, you can stand in line for several hours! There are A Lot Of People in the museum itself! Just pandemonium! It's not very comfortable when you get into the human sea! The museum itself is stuffy! I couldn't really see anything! We spent 2 hours there! And that's it! They couldn't stand it!

It's hard to get into Rassian now. You need to buy tickets in advance and it is impossible to pay with a Russian card. We paid for the tickets with the year. Passed without a queue. The queue is huge. There are a lot of people in museums, a crowd. But we got a lot of pleasure. The cafe in the museum is very budget.

It is worth visiting again as part of a group, otherwise you will stand in line to enter for a very long time. There are many students and schoolchildren. The Sistine Chapel is a world heritage site.

Well, as a full-fledged museum, I might not appreciate it, but as some kind of huge grandeur of Rome, yes, Leonorado's paintings are certainly amazing, this one should definitely be seen in person and only in person
