The first one was a large complex that included a mind-blowing museum, a couple of smaller chapels, and the Sistine Chapel. It is against the rules to take pictures of the Sistine, but in the lesser chapels and the museums, it was a picture free-for-all. I overheard a tour guide say that if you dedicated just one minute to looking at every artifact in the museum, you would be there for twelve years. It included an Egyptian section, an Etruscan section, a hall dedicated to Greek and Roman statues, a tapestry hall, and, my favorite, the Hall of Maps. The artifacts were well-preserved, and you could get a really good look at some of them, especially the Egyptian artifacts.
