Sistine Chapel

It`s amazing. What technology can do!

Play with the mouse move it around and increase, decrease the size…..makes you dizzy. This is amazing..

TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHAELANGELO'S MASTERPIECE,




JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE. MOVE THE CURSOR SLOWLY!!!


In the lower left corner, click on the plus to move closer, on the minus to move away.

This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done by Villanova at the request of the Vatican...

Re: Sistine Chapel

Wow Topaz, as technology that's quite something, but who painted all that graffiti, Banksy or somebody? Time to get the decorators in with some nice magnolia methinks....

Re: Sistine Chapel

Some years ago Topaz darlin' the catholic church in Durrington (near Worthing in West Sussex) had a painter and decorator amongst its congregation. Over several years, at his own expense, he re-created the Sistine Chapel on the ceiling and walls of the church - it made local (and I think national) news at the time.
