About

Experience 2,000 years of art and history presented through extraordinary works by artists such as Michelangelo, Giotto, & Bernini, and objects marking the most significant moments in the history of the papacy and Vatican.


Vatican Splendors: A Journey Through Faith & Art is a collection of 170 rare artworks, historical objects, and cultural artifacts from the Vatican's collections. The exhibition transports visitors to the Vatican, creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view artworks by its most celebrated artists and to explore an extraordinary collection of historical and religious objects. This special presentation of art and objects includes many never before on display in North America, and some not on view to the general public, even in Rome.


From the opening theater experience, where visitors will become immersed in the grandeur of the Vatican, to the closing object of a cast of Pope John Paul II's hand (which guests may grasp), visitors will encounter the art, history and culture of the Vatican with unprecedented access and insight. The collections are organized to provide a window to the Vatican's role in the world, with objects marking events throughout 2,000 years of history and tradition, including a more personal look at those who have helped shape, and been shaped, by the Vatican's important influence over time.  It's a true "insiders" view of the Vatican, including its spiritual, artistic, and ceremonial treasures.

    Vatican Spendors Disappointing

    by LDBPMC on 5/17/11Museum of Art - Fort Lauderdale - Ft Lauderdale

    Clearly the Vatican is not inclined to loan out their really splendid works of art. The collection in Ft Lauderdale was ordinary with only a few pieces that were really special. After all of the hype the show received I was disappointed with the actual display.

    splendors of the vatican

    by VRSmith on 5/12/11Museum of Art - Fort Lauderdale - Ft Lauderdale

    I was fortunate in that I went on two seperate occasions since I had already planned to attend with friends and then bought tickets for my sisters who came into town B4 a cruise. I enjoyed having the headsets to get explanations of what I was seeing especially on the weekend when I went with my sisters as it was almost impossible to get close enough to read the written info on the walls near the objects on the weekend due to the crush of the crowd.I wish what was written on the walls and not on tape had also been put on tape because I feel my sisters missed some of the interesting info provided.

    good. but they let you in whenever you wanted to go in. lots of people came early or later, which made the crowds inside very large. couldn't see or read much of the plaques. next time only let people in at the exact time.
