"Art lovers can now look at Michelangelo's famous ceiling in the Sistine Chapel via their computers.
The ceiling, painted by the Renaissance artist between 1508 and 1512, is included in a new virtual tour of the Vatican's museums on the Holy See's website. "

That's cool. Even though they've got this, the Sistine Chapel though has to be experienced first hand, it's just such a remarkable work... and St Peters itself... no photo i've seen has ever managed to convey the scale... in fact even being there it takes a while before you get it, when you notice how tiny the people look and how far away they all seem in this huge (and very beautiful) building.

Still this will be a good second best to actually visitng the peices.

"I'm done, when I'm done" hehe.
