View Vatican Virtually

Few of us will ever get to take an enjoyable tour of the famous Vatican Museums. Even if we get to Rome, the hordes of fellow tourists will detract from the experience. So here's a way to study the treasures of the Vatican: take a virtual tour.

The Vatican Museums web site offers both the collection online and online tours of the many museums.
