The Vatican Museums: Discover the history, the works of art, the collections. '...Thousands of people visit the Vatican Museums everyday... This is food for thought! Who actually are these visitors? They are a fairly heterogeneous representation of humanity. Many of them are not Catholic, a great many are not Christian and perhaps not even believers. A large number also visit St. Peter's Basilica, but many of them, when they come to the Vatican, only visit the Museums. All this prompts one to reflect on this institution's extraordinary responsibility from the viewpoint of the Christian message...' Pope Benedict XVI
