Rome Italy - March 31 - April 8 2007 / The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel: Our Guided Tour was for 8:15am. Museum didn't open until 10am. The line was already an hour long at 8am... Our tour group got in at 8:21AM. Thank goodness I booked ahead of time! This vast complex includes the museum, galleries and parts of the papal palace, richly decorated by the world's greatest artists. The galleries themselves, of great architectural interest, have a diverse collection of art with a particular interest on Western Art and Sculpture. Judith L. Trest 4/14/2007
