Awesome! No, Josie, I have not seen the Sistine Chapel before the restoration. I was there in 2009 in my first world pilgrimage and was quite overwhelmed by its beauty and grandeur. I've seen how it looked on TV while they were in the process of painting the chapel with utmost and painstaking care. The restorers did an excellent job! I looked and looked till my eyes got tired and my neck got hurt.
This is much better viewing - up close and convenient.

Hi! Evryone,
This is what is great about technology, it is really quite amazing to see the painting up close to see all the datails. I have a question to ask, Has any of you seen the Sistine Chapel before the restoration? Do you like it better after the restoration? I first saw the Sistine Chapel in 1978 on my first trip to Europe with my Mother. I was in awe at the beauty. At the time, the color is not vivid from the soot of the candles. Yet it seemed more fitting as the Chapel is quite old. The patina was beautiful & the whole place seem more holy. Again I saw it in 1994 with my sisters celebrating my oldest sister's & my birthday , our 60th & 50th, after the restoration. I was shocked at the vividness of the color & was not very impressed with it. It seemed gaudy at first, too much color. After seeing it 2 more times, I think the color finally wins me over but I will never forget the 1st time I saw it. It was heavenly. Josie

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!

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.

Sooo beautiful! The Sistine Chapel LINK is still working after all these years. Sidetray: Cafeteria workers must be hungry and kept on eating. I bet the Pope said grace first. When Pope Francis visits Tacloban, Philippines in January 2015, he'll sit and chat with 50 survivors of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) and the earthquake in Bohol. I'd eat with the Pope anytime, any day.
