Turning the Lights On at the Vatican Museums, an unforgettable experience with GetYourGuide

Ever wondered what it would be like to have the Sistine Chapel to yourself?
Or imagined walking the halls of the 500-year-old Vatican Museums without its 6 million annual visitors getting in the way? See them like never before as you join clavigero Gianni Crea (head key keeper) to unlock the doors of history before any other visitors arrive. Almost every morning for the past decade, Gianni has led the team with the massive task of opening up the 24 interconnected galleries, museums, and chapels that make up the Vatican Museums.
With a small group, join him on his morning routine to open the doors to some of the world’s most renowned artworks. Hear the sounds of the ancient locks turning as you hold the keys, see the historic rooms go from dark to light as you flick the switch, and discover the Vatican Museums and their treasures in a way no other visitor can.
As you explore, listen to Gianni’s experiences and anecdotes of his time as head clavigero, as well as the stories behind some of the 20,000 pieces on display. In the calmness of dawn, you have the chance to see the most impressive spaces as well as those not open to the public.
