New layout for the Collection of the Room of Tributes

26 June 2015
Christian Museum, Vatican Museums

From Friday 26 June, all visitors leaving the Sistine Chapel will be welcomed by the renewed beauty of the decorative arts collection on display in the Room of Tributes. Enhanced by a new and important layout design, and preserved in the historic display cabinets designed by the architect Raffaele Stern, the rich collections of silver, ivories, enamels, vestments, chalices, crosses and objects of worship from every age and of every type are displayed in their former splendour, evidence of the varied tendencies favoured by papal patronage throughout the centuries.
