12 Museum Apps from around the World

The Vatican Museums begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. This is the start of a mysterious and fascinating trip: a voyage across more than 20 centuries of creativity through which art and history intertwine. The most sought-after stop on the Vatican Museum trail is without doubt the Sistine Chapel however every room is rich in history and precious examples of life from every era.
