The Sistine Chapel

I was lucky enough to actually visit the Sistine Chapel some years ago. The only downside of this fabulous piece of history was the crowds. The place was literally packed to the gunnels and any opportunity to admire Michelangelo’s frescos was marred by the noisy and packed audience of tourists.

So imagine my delight when I came across the Vatican website using technology in a way that truly enhances the visitors experience.

Frankly had I known this earlier I probably would have found a nice bar, ordered a cool lager and visited the website instead, but then I guess that would not be quite the same.

Check out other aspects of the site. The combination of modern technology meets religion makes it interesting.
