You-are-there, high-def views of the Sistine Chapel

(I don't know if this has been posted here before, but it didn't turn up on an advanced search.)

Click/drag the mouse, zoom in/out.

I enjoyed things I didn't/couldn't appreciate when I was in the room, like the wonderful floor.

Very cool. I believe I found some clues to the location of the Holy Grail!

It's been posted a couple of times as it's been on the VA website a year or so. I don't think many people have seen those posts (not many clicks on the threads) so it certainly doesn't hurt to post again.

You can also do a little walk through of the scavi tour although it's not as user friendly.

Thanks, kybourbon. I was pretty sure I had seen it here before. Thanks also for the other links.

Thanks, kybourbon, for posting these awesome links! I thought the Scavi Tour was an incredible experience for my family and I appreciate seeing it through someone elses eyes.
