The Vatican Museums expanded to accommodate the wide variety of collections, which required more buildings to house the artwork. This led to the creation of the Vatican Museum of History.The Vatican Museums expanded to accommodate the wide variety of collections, which required more buildings to house the artwork. This led to the creation of the Vatican Museum of History. Pope Paul first created the Historical Museum in 1973. Under a square garden, the collection was kept. It was moved to the main floor of the Lateran Apostolic Palace only in 1987, and it was reopened to the public in March 1991. The Vatican City Museums began in 1503 under the auspices of Pope Julius.
The Sistine Chapel, is the location of the pope’s most important rites. Though it is closed when not in use for practical reasons, tourists from all over the world flock there in expectation of viewing the incredible artworks hidden beneath. Rather than the architecture of the church, visitors to the Sistine Chapel are mostly drawn to the murals that cover the whole ceiling and walls.Rather than the architecture of the church, visitors to the Sistine Chapel are mostly drawn to the murals that cover the whole ceiling and walls.
The so-called Treasury of Saint Peter is on exhibit at the “Treasury Museum of Saint Peter’s Basilica.” Therefore, it is essentially a collection of liturgical artifacts that were once utilized in the Basilica to conduct sacred functions but are currently not in use.
Therefore, it is possible to argue that the treasure of Saint Peter and the Basilica itself are two sides of a same narrative fabric, with the history of the Basilica and its treasure being the warp and the weft.
The Treasury of Saint Peter has seen lengthy stretches of gradual but constant richness over the ages, punctuated, nevertheless, by abrupt and striking destitution.
