Divine dilemma: should the Vatican reduce tourist access to the Sistine Chapel?

Michelangelo's famous frescoes are described as one of the world's supreme sights.

In scene after scene, some of the Old Testament's most powerful stories are told.

But for some, the room became a victim of its own fame and magnificence. They say it just attracts too many tourists.

Twenty-thousand visitors enter the Chapel's doors every day; more than five million a year.

According to Antonio Paolucci, the director of Vatican Museums, "it becomes noisy, people are confused - it's hard to understand. Too many people make it uncomfortable... But, specially, it creates a problem for the conservation of the frescoes."

Mr. Paolucci said plans to improve the ventilation and counter the humidity in the Chapel would be presented soon.

But he also said that another possibility would be to restrict the numbers of visitors allowed in.

"But so far we are trying to avoid this because the Sistine Chapel for those who visit the Vatican is not only a place of art but also a spiritual, religious place."

Segundo o texto, o motivo que levou o Vaticano a considerar a restrição da entrada de visitantes na Capela Sistina foi:




  • os danos que interferem na conservação das pinturas.
  • a dificuldade de entender as pinturas.
  • os visitantes falam muito alto.
  • os desentendimentos criados pelos visitantes. 
  • a dimensão do local faz com que o turista se perca.
