The Vatican Museums

The beauty found within manmade walls is especially apparent in the Vatican.


The ceilings in the round hall that seem as though you could feel the roughness of the sculptures are really just ornate paintings created to embody the Pantheon.

The 35,000 people that walk the halls each day are lucky enough to take in paintings with blues, reds, and golds wrought from objects in nature. 



Laocoon and his sons are brought to life exactly as I had imagined in the Aeneid. 



All in all, the regality and grandioseness of the Vatican is unbelievable to human eyes and a gift to all who have the privilege to absorb it.
