Sistine Chapel Virtual View

This is spectacular!! 
 Click on the link at the bottom.

 Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would 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 THE MICHAEL ANGELO'S MASTERPIECE JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE. 
 In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the minus (-) to move away.
Choir is thrown in free. 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.

  3. I never see, read about, or think of Michaelangelo's work that I am not amazed. Can you even imagine painting something like that in an easy environment. let alone on a ceiling?! If you couldn't see it for real, you would never believe it possible... I'm sure there is a lesson for us in that. Thank you, Christine. I'm off to be in awe.
