Today I went and had a quick tour around the Sistene Chapel. I took this picture:
OK, it's not really a photo - it's actually a screenshot from a "virtual tour", via here.
What a beautiful thing to publish on the Internet! However, be warned - you might need to take care if you get dizzy easily. I rapidly got motion sickness by turning the viewpoint around whilst playing and looking at this.

About using this virtual tour:
- You can navigate and "move" your view around the chapel in various ways:
- (a) Clicking on the displayed bar of arrow keys; the + and - keys zoom in and out; the right hand side end button enlarges the image to full screen; the Esc key gets out of "Fullscreen" mode.
- (b) Double-clicking and dragging the view with your mouse; go slowly with the mouse - the computer may take a while to keep up with your commands, depending on your connect speed - it seems to work by downloading Flash view files/frames to your computer.
- (c) Using of the cursor keys, and the Shift and Ctrl keys; experiment by using them in combination with each other.
- You can see 360 degrees around, together with an variable vertical view.
- Go up and down and all around.
- Look into the various alcoves and aisles.
- Don't forget to look at the ceiling!
