There were paintings, sculptures and wall paintings to be seen.  We did a lot of walking within the museum. Crowds thronged the exhibition rooms. We had procured an audio guide (Euro 7.00) and it was useful.

Photography is permitted inside the exhibition rooms without the use of flash. However no photos or videos are allowed once you are inside Sistine Chapel. The chapel houses some of the greatest art in the world. Souvenir photos can be bought from the gift shop.
