The Vatican Museums: A Journey Through Art, History, and Faith
Nestled within the walls of Vatican City, the Vatican Museums stand as one of the most significant cultural and artistic institutions in the world. Founded in the early 16th century by Pope Julius II, the museums have since grown into a vast complex housing one of the largest and most impressive art collections ever assembled. With over 70,000 pieces—though only about 20,000 are on display—the Vatican Museums offer visitors a rich tapestry of artistic, religious, and historical treasures that span millennia.
