About Vatican Museums

The Vatican Museums house one of the world's largest art collections — over 70,000 works including the Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms.

If you're arriving directly from or departing to the airport, storing your suitcase at a nearby Bounce partner lets you visit without checking in at your hotel first.
