So, it is an unparalleled opportunity for art lovers to enter this inner “sancta sanctorum” of the greatest masterpieces. Because no other museum in the world can match the Vatican Museums in number and importance of artworks accumulated for centuries (more than 700,000 pieces), in paintings, sculptures and frescoes commissioned to the greatest artists who worked for decades inside the walls of the Holy See. The mission of the patrons is to promote, restore and conserve this incredible patrimony of beauty.
