As you enter the Vatican Museums, you pass through large sculpture sculptured doors. When the light shines just the right way, brown bronze squares in the doors seem to catch fire. The artist Cecco Bonanotte created the doors in 1999. He produced them for the opening celebration of the new entrance to the Vatican Museums in 2000. But other works here are much older.

There are containers with beautiful art work artwork created more than 2000 years ago. Statues and paintings show heros heroes of ancient Troy and Athens. Paintings and clostextiles cloth textiles reproduce the world of the 16th century.

Sometimes experts remove objects to repair and restore them. And some objects may be longed loaned to other museums. But there are always many interesting and beautiful objects to see at the Vatican Museums.
