It's not an exaggeration to say that a visit to the Sistine Chapel is a moving experience. Of all the museums at the Vatican, it is the most popular. About 25,000 people a day, five million people a year, visit the Chapel.
First time visitors may be a little surprised by its size. It's comparatively small, but when you look up for your first glimpse of Michelangelo's masterpiece, all thoughts of size are forgotten.
