The exclusive opportunity to admire certain museum sectors or the Sistine Chapel itself "behind closed doors"
The special proposal of exclusive entry at 6 a.m. to perform with the “clavigero” or key keeper of the Museums the solemn rite of opening the doors, arriving in the Sistine Chapel while the Museums are still closed. A hearty breakfast will conclude the visit, which will be led by an educational tour guide authorised by Vatican City State.
The privilege of being able to admire not only the museum sectors open to the public but also those not usually accessible, and to experience an exclusive visit to the Sistine Chapel.
A special proposal intended for pre-formed groups of a maximum of 15 participants.
An opportunity to discover, in an "out of hours" tour while the Museums are closed, two of the sectors least familiar to the public at large: the Necropolis of the Via Triumphalis and the Carriage Pavilion.
A proposal intended exclusively for the individual visitor interested in either an individual tour or a collective tour in pre-formed groups of a maximum of 25 participants.
The tour is conducted by an educational guide authorised by Vatican City State.
Behind closed doors, after the usual opening hours, the Vatican Museums live a second life, revealing their unique qualities to those who choose a tour experience far from the daytime rhythms and crowds.
The absence of the public and the evocative evening atmosphere make this exclusive tour through 2000 years of history of the Church and Art a truly special experience.
It is compulsory to enter with a guide; the Vatican Museums can provide, upon request, a guide service with specialised staff authorised by Vatican City State.
