Vatican Museum

Talk about masterful.

Salvador Dalí.

Really old floor tiles.

A hall full of tapestries of Biblical scenes and regions of Italy. This went on for a long, long way.

An occulus. Curiously similar to the one in the Pantheon (pagan church) from later today...

 Snake attack.

One of many rooms with paintings literally everywhere.

Not surprisingly, the real draw to the musem and perhaps one of the most famous artistic endeavours ever, the Sistine Chapel, cannot be photographed.
