The Vatican Museums are made up of the Pinacoteca Vaticana, the Collection of Modern Religious Art, the Vatican Historical Museum,
and the Sculpture Museums: Museo Pio Clementino, Museo Chiaramonti, Museo Gregoriano Etrusco, Museo Gregoriano Egiziano.
There is no way a person can take in all there is to see in the museums in one day, or even one week.
Be prepared to just pick out a few items that catch your eye the first time and come back another time.
