Did you know about the Sistine Chapel closings this month?
Posted: Tue January 6, 2009 08:03 PM UTC

More of a notice than a question...from the Vatican Museums website (http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/MV_Home.html)

"NOTICE TO VISITORS:
On Wednesday, January 7, 2009, the Sistine Chapel will be closed from 10.30 a.m. to 12.00 o’clock a.m.
On Saturday, January 10, 2009, the access to the Sistine Chapel will be possible till 12:00 p.m. (exit within 12:30 p.m.).
On Friday, January 16, 2009, the access to the Sistine Chapel will be possible till 1:30 p.m. (exit within 2:00 p.m.).
On Saturday, January 17, 2009, the access to the Sistine Chapel will be possible till 12:30 p.m. (exit within 1:00 p.m.)."

No info on why the Chapel will be offlimits at these times. This means that if you are going to the Museums on these days, that the strategy of coming after lunch to avoid the lines may backfire on you...
