The Vatican Museums feature so much great artwork that I had to devote a second post to them.
See my first post about the Vatican Museums if you haven’t seen it already.
Gallery of Geographic Maps
One of the beautiful giant 16th century maps of Italy in the map gallery
Sphinx with an eerily realistic human faceĀ 
What can I say? I found the corridors to be extremely beautiful.
Gory scene from “Massacre of the Innocents”
Madonna by Lucio Fontana, 1956, one of several 20th century artworks
This winding staircase is the final “artwork” you’ll encounter
