A gift from the 6th hour.
I must admit that the exhibit that fascinated me the most in the Vatican Museums is the room of maps.
It is more or less a long corridor (with some painted cabinets à la grotesque) with maps of Italy and other territories of the church dominion. They are not always exact (the one for Corsica looks seriously upside down) and yet they make a wonderful group of paintings.
Hey!
They even have a map showing how to get to Narnia!
( More here under )
Next bit?
I think I'll do something else than the Vatican Museums. Not that there isn't still tons of stuff to see and if you are interested you can have a look at the dedicated set on my Flickr account, but I'd rather move on.
