Historical Background
The Vatican Museums were established in the early 16th century and have since evolved into one of the most visited art collections in the world. They house works from renowned artists across centuries, including Raphael, Caravaggio, and, of course, Michelangelo's iconic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. The Museums serve not only as a repository of art but as a reflection of the rich history and influence of the Catholic Church throughout Europe. Each room and gallery reveals layers of history that tell the story of artistic evolution and the Church's role in it.
A visit to the Domus Aurea is a unique experience thanks to a site-specific project which enhances the experience with multimedia installations such as the videomapping of large surfaces. A unique experience that will take you into the heart of a genuine archaeological dig where you can observe the recovery and restoration phases ‘live’ and at the same time relive the dreams of a somewhat “extravagant” emperor.
