Sistine Chapel virtual tour

Thanks to John Thavis of CNS for new of an addition to the Vatican website: a Virtual Tour of the Sistine Chapel. this is a joint project of the Vatican and Villanova University.

There is a copyright notice photoshopped into the pavement. However, I am reliably informed by the last surviving Knight Commander of the Noble Equestrian Order of Pope Zephyrinus that Michaelangelo in fact painted in a small notice under Adam's big toenail saying that he released the lot under a Creative Commons licence :-)

Apologies for the frivolity. It really is a splendid project.

Yeah Villanova! (I'm graduating from there this semester). They've done an amazing job with the entire Vatican project so far, and there is still more to go. A real honor for the university.

Dear Fr. Thank you for this excellent Post. I've also just spent twenty minutes on Google trying very hard to find out who the last surviving Knight Commander of the Noble Equestrian Order of Pope Zephyrinus is !!!
