Vatican Museums | Italy

Posted on 09:00 by john mical
The 52 galleries of the Vatican Museum's in Rome, Italy attract over 4 million visitors a year and they cover over 2,000 years of religious art history. It was begun in the early 16th century by Pope Julius ll. It is rumored that portions of the collection will travel to the US this year. I will keep my eyes and ears open.
