Virtual Vatican

If you're missing something spiritual this Easter to enjoy from home, look no further than the Vatican Museum's online tour of the Sistine Chapel.

The tour gives you a choice of exploring the ceiling painted by Michelangelo Buonarotti, who came to Pietrasanta – where current episodes of Materially Speaking are recorded – to secure the finest white marble. Or discover The Last Judgement, north wall, south wall or entrance wall, all in stunning detail. 

Alternatively, and this is Sarah's favourite bit, there's a virtual tour which enables you to take yourself around, swivelling and craning your head as though you were really there. There's also a short video to watch to get you in the mood. Both visually and within the historical notes, the tour is an amazingly rich experience.
