The Vatican Museums are well-known for having one of the biggest and most significant art collections in the world, which spans several centuries and a wide range of artistic genres.

Museo Pio Clementino
There are other smaller, distinct museums within the Vatican. The most significant of these is perhaps the Museo Pio Clementino, and it is impossible to miss any of its numerous highlights! Visit the Round Room to see the gigantic marble bathtub guarded by a massive bronze statue of Heracles, or the Octagonal Courtyard to see the Apollo Belvedere and the Laocoonte.
