Hours for Vatican Museum?
 

I am a bit confused. Depending on what tour books I read, the Vatican Museum either closes at 4:45 or 1:45 in March. That's quite a difference in times. Anyone know for certain? The vatican.va website didn't have any practical info.

Rick Steve's Italy 2002, says<BR><BR>Mon-Fri: 8:45-2:45<BR>Sat: 8:45-1:45<BR><BR>closed Mar 19<BR><BR>Free last sunday of the month, but crowded

Thank you both for your replies. That italywithus.com site is great. It adds a 2:20 time to my potential closing times though! :-) And my Rick Steves Italy 2002 book says 16:45. So I guess I'm not making much headway here! I think the consensus is early afternoon.

Amy I got the information from the official Vatican office 2 weeks ago.

Helen, thank you! That is about as official as it gets.
