OT: Sistine Chapel in HD (High Def)

Sistine Chapel <http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/index.html>

MOVE THE MOUSE AROUND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Click and

drag the arrow slowly or one could get dizzy! You can zoom in on every painting

!

Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would never see in person, as you

would NEVER be alone in the room. It is ALWAYS VERY CROWDED and of course you

can't see Michelangelo's artwork close up as you can here. This is especially

spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen!

TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHELANGELO'S

MASTERPIECE, JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE.

In the lower left, click on the plus (+) to move closer, on the

minus (-) to move away. Choir is thrown in as a freebie.

MOVE THE ARROW AND YOU WILL SEE EVERY PART OF

THE CHAPEL.

This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done by

Villanova at the request of the Vatican

..
