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.
In 2017, we spent most of our time in the Egyptian collection.
There are thousands of museum pieces in the Vatican collection... here are a few I have seen.
