This is totally awesome. It will get you dizzy if you are not careful. Use your Mouse to slide and roll for a very interesting full tour of the Sistine Chapel. Hold your curser down on right side of screen and slowly move pictures around. Amazing sight. TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHAEL ANGELO'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... Http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/index.html

Very impressive, a better view than if you went there in person - and cheaper ;o)
A magnificent feat considering sculpting was his main love and painting was basically a hobby after serving a very short apprenticeship.
4 years later, I guess he considered himself fully qualified though !
Fabulous, thanks for posting that
n.b I got a warning from Firefox that extra plugins were required (Quicktime) I'm guessing that is because it has cheesy midi music to accompany it? I refused the offer anyway and viewed it in silence

At least you can zoom in on it, something you cant do if you visited. With the amount of visitors they get, I wonder just how much you could get to see anyway. If your 5'4" like me, you probably wouldn't see very much. I would come out with a stiff neck and blured vision.

No. When I should have been 5'4" Elvis, I was only 3'6". When I first when to sea; every time I walked aboard a new ship, they thought I was a bloody powder monkey.

It probably is Lynnrose; but the ones that I was referring to, weren't as pretty as that.
