Artists and artists of Italian painting have come to a conclusion that truly satisfies visitors: the Sistine Chapel (now an art museum) decorated by Michelangelo with famous frescoes severely damaged by rubbish and dust that tourists bring. Four million people come here to visit every year leaving hairs, street dust, sweat and tiny fibers from clothes and clothing.

The Vatican cannot prohibit visitors from visiting the Sistine Chapel, but to solve this problem, from now on, before entering the museum, visitors must be cleaned in a special room.

According to the director of the museum, visitors must go through a 100m long corridor, equipped with specialized cleaning equipment. After the shoes and clothes were out of dust, including sweat, they were actually sterilized.

Museum director Antonio Paolucci said: "The temperature in this chapel will be kept slightly low so that visitors are less likely to sweat." He added that the enemies of the paintings are dust, moisture and carbon dioxide.

In addition, in order to reduce the number of people who want to visit the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican is expected to research a place to give visitors virtual tours, a thorough introduction to this chapel.

Visitors through the online tour can watch, enjoy more thoroughly the paintings and murals that enlarge, very detailed with comments without having to mix yourself with the crowds of crowds. .
