Although I have never been much of a "Art History Enthusiast;" this resource will make your visit to the Vatican Museum more meaningful. Even if you dont plan to visit the VM anytime soon; its a great resource for those who want art and history to co-mingle and come alive!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
