From January 12 through March 31, the Vatican Museums will be carrying out special conservation work on Michelangelo’s Last Judgement inside the Sistine Chapel. During this time, a scaffolding structure will cover the entire Last Judgement wall. The Sistine Chapel will remain open and fully accessible, but this specific artwork will not be visible during the restoration period. Thank you for your understanding as this masterpiece receives important care.

With these exclusive skip-the-line access tickets you will have immediate entry to the famous Vatican Museums, bypassing the long line and crowds. Once you're in, you will be free to roam around the museums as you wish! A greeter will be waiting for you in front of Caffe Vaticano directly across from the museum entrance at Viale Vaticano 100, holding a LivTours sign. They will provide you with the museum entry tickets and guide you to the entry gates. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your tour start time.
