Vatican Museums

First up on the tour will be an array of ancient Roman and Greek sculptures from excavations across Rome. The Vatican held the rights to all archaeological discoveries when the Popes ruled Central Italy. This part of the tour will focus on the most important of these, including the Belvedere Apollo, the Torso, the busts of Claudius and Hadrian and the sarcophagi of Helen and Constance, the mother and daughter of Emperor Constantine.Next you’ll enter the Room of Animals followed by the Gallery of the Candelabra where you can view the inspiring statues of Diana of Ephesus, the Muses and many Greek philosophers.After the Gallery of the Candelabra, you’ll view the Gallery of Tapestries, the Sobieski Hall and Raphael’s Rooms. The latter were decorated by Raphael for Pope Julius II, who used the rooms as his private apartments. These rooms are home to two of Raphael’s greatest works: the Parnassus and The School of Athens.
