Today we took another trip into Rome to visit the Vatican conservation labs and the Museo Vaticani. We visited three different conservation labs: the stone lab, the paintings lab, and the mosaics lab. We listened to presentations from staff of the labs with the help of our knowledgeable tour guide and translator, Giovanni.
After a quick lunch, we entered the Museo Vaticani. It was very packed inside, so we unfortunately did not have much time to admire all the beautiful artwork. Despite the time constraints, though, we managed to catch a glimpse of some famous pieces that we studied in school. After walking the length of the museum, we got to see the Sistene Chapel - definitely a life-changing experience. After exiting the museum, we explored the St. Peter's Basilica and saw some beautiful architecture and art.
