I saw something of that scope in Rome many years back. I also saw Michelangelo's sistine chapel painting in the Vatican in Rome (my honeymoon... a loooong time ago). Have you ever been to Italy?

Though not Michelangelo's, I saw Venus de Milo and Winged Victory today. The latter was especially impressive.

Our experience at the museum was quite unique in that there were comparatively few people there. It's sad that it takes a pandemic to lessen the crowds.

I apologize that my photos are not good quality. Photography is not a strength of mine.
I saw the Mona Lisa too. Yes it was well-guarded!
