Meeting Michelangelo

Most people going to Rome will want to visit the Sistine Chapel, accessed through the Vatican Museums. If one intends to pay proper respects to Michelangelo it is important to find out exactly when the Museums open and get there an hour or so beforehand. Now, once in, make straight for the Chapel, ignoring all of the wonderful distractions on the way; these can be admired later. Inside the Chapel, and hopefully alone, one can stand in silent awe before The Last Judgement, long before the twittering crowds arrive. :))
