| There were a series of rooms with rows and rows of statues and busts, all most excellent. Above on the left is a picture of the side of one such room. Also above is a picture of a particular nice mosaic in the floor (we weren't allowed to walk on this section of floor). There were also mosiacs on the ceiling and this is a picture of one such mosaic. Below on the left is a picture of an interesting painting. It looks very much like stone, but is really a painting and you had to get very close in order to see the difference and probably won't be able to tell the difference in even the largest image. Next to that is a picture of a wall tapestry. |

| This picture is of the Sistine Chapel. Below on the left is a mosaic of a table top of two ducks that we found particularly impressive (and most detailed). |

| Above on the right as well as here is a picture of a viewgraph reproduction of the Sistine Chapel that they provided as it was hard to get good pictures of the chapel itself. Below on the left is a picture of the actual Sistine chapel ceiling where the colors are more muted and it is hard to get a good clear angle. Next to that is a picture of a long hallway that we found was a little ostentacious. There were painted murals on the walls, inlaid marble decorations in the florr, urns along the way and paintings on the ceiling being a little excessive. There were also windows which viewed gardens outside. |
