Sistine Chapel: A look inside after crowds leave | BBC News 

My son went to the Chapel with my sister, when he was 14. He emailed me later and said, "Mom, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." I mean, a 14 year old teenaged boy, saying this? It's that remarkable.

To see Michaelangelo's masterpieces upclose is a great life achievement for a history lover like me

I was there last year it's stunningly beautiful.You could spend all day looking at the paintings on the walls and ceiling. All the idiots taking pictures when they are explicitly told not to do so though is annoying why the hell can't people have simple respect for something they're lucky to get the chance to see in the first place.

I always want to love the value of classical art, which has always preserved its outstanding beauty ❤💝💖💗🩷

Cannot wait to see these masterpieces in future is still going back in time

Sistine Chapel great part of our Christian Heritage, I appreciate it even though i am a Protestant. I hope good people of Italy protect this and all other Christian Masterpieces of Italy.

I only wish if we can respect human life even half as much as these art pieces. The areas are testament of human existence, they deserve the all the protection and the hype!! ❤

Cool! Its so beautiful - really worth seeing

❤❤

Michaelangelo would have appreciated what they are doing. There has to be a limit to the number of people in the room, to protect that amazing Renaissance masterpiece on the ceiling and walls of the Sistine Chapel, otherwise they will have to carry out a more rigorous rethink. One of the prehistoric painted caves in France, now has a replica, because the real one is endangered. I hope that never happens in the distant future, for this Christian heritage treasure.

Had to pretend i was on the phone to take a picture of the ceiling when i went here in 2019. It was so beautiful

Hey you misspelled sixteenth chapel. Wow and you're a news agency.

Ooh! I never saw that church before that's a little pretty

I'd imagine your intense LED light has an affect

This is what the Glaswegian Wonka World could have been if only the promoter had applied himself.

can't see that sistine chapel now without remembering when starmer tried to reproduce it during his first conference speech as leader, when he and doreen lawrence tried to reach out to each other across the conference hall pass the sick bucket

😃👍👏

So, this is the Sistine Cathedral, not the chapel, the chapel is behind this room. Been there many times, Stop calling it the chapel.

The Vatican experts speak English better than the reporter.

Difficult to understand speaker.

Understanding race realism and being debt free are two keys to freedom.

Beautiful truth God Jesus praise the Lord

BUCKET LIST

OT: Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations--WOR and WLVI!

like everything bad bbc always sticks around till end

Painter and decorator world famous 460 years after his death .. 😂

muslims want to paint over it

Forget about religious temples - what the world needs is Jesus Christ - the ONLY way to Heaven. John 14:6. ❤❤❤

I'm just going to say it. I don't see a lot of diversity on that ceiling.

Bullshit to not show more. I went through in 85. Mostly scaffolding and poor light in tiny chapel with crazy high ceilings. Why not give us a better view ? Horrible humans 😢

Cant think of many worse places to visit. Trust bbc 😅. Not for me.

I reckon i could paint better. 🎨 😂

All naked people inside the chapel walls. All naked and shameless imagination 😡

You know what these stories never tell you? Michaelangelo HATED this project. He hated working on it so bad he LITERALLY ran away. He ran from the town and the Popes police captured him, dragged him back, and FORCED him to finish what he never wanted to start in the first place. THAT is a very important part of his history, the works history, and the Churches SHAME for centuries of ABUSE and oppression and cruelty against their own.

So beautiful! 😍 Nobody needs to believe in an imaginary friend to appreciate the magnificent work done and the care of the current experts. Bravo! 👍🤗 M 🦘🏏😎
