Discover the Pope’s vast art collection, containing about 7 km of art. Gain insights from your guide as they show you highlights such as the Pio-Clementino Museum and its ancient statues, the Gallery of Maps and its cartographic frescoes, and the Gallery of Tapestries and its Flemish wall hangings.
