The technology associated with the attached is truly amazing and what a privilege to see inside the Sistine Chapel and to be alone!




   An amazing bit of technology that you'll  probably never see in
person, and you would never be alone in the room.

It is always very crowded and of course you can't see Michelangelo's
artwork close up as you can here.  This is especially spectacular if you
have a large high-definition screen!

The Sistine Chapel:  Virtually view every part of
Michaelangelo's masterpiece. 

Just click and drag your arrow in the direction
of the part you wish to see.

In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-)
to move away. Or Scroll to move in closer.
AMAZING!   MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY
PART OF THE CHAPEL.

This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done
by Villanova at the request of the Vatican ...

Thought you would enjoy the quality and a bit of Rome on your computer.
Amazing what can be done with technology.
