I just got back from vacationing in Rome and took the Vatican Museum tour. I have to agree with Drewpheus. Our Tour guide, Matteo, who was very good by the way, said the reason no cameras or videos are allowed, even without flash, is that marketing rights to the images in the Sistine Chapel have been "aquired" by certain companies. Seems to be some truth to ths as I saw many Sistine Chapel photobooks at the gift shop and souvenier places.

I can understand the use of Flash being not allowed i was there last week and could not believe the amount of people using flash on the Taperstries and paintings!! But surely the use of video can not damage paints etc?? i could be wrong....But the sheer amount of people allowed in is disgracful...the Vatican take a serious amount of Euro's on a Daily Basis..Fact...also they make a shed full of money selling books of the Sistine Chapel so maybe there is another motive for not allowing video!!

The real reason why they say no picture or flash is because it is damaging to the painting. I am a chemist myself so trust me on that, constant flashing will destroy the dye used for the paint. Come on people...this is not just for you and me, its for our future generation to enjoy as well

@EendjeKwak sooo... was my reaction focused to you or on somebody else? I am not religious, but I respect it with utmost caution and if you do that to, im very glad to hear that :D. and sacred also means something to me, people put their emotion and spiritual values in and practise them there. THAT is why sacred also means something to me, I respect that.
now the fuck off may be a little bit of a bad reaction but I obviously meant: please leave...
I will repeat: you are the guest, so behave

@MidasRK After you cried about "sacred place" you said "fuck off". Now you will burn in Hell, keyboard hero! Adjectives like "holy" and "sacred" only have a value for people who believe in fairy tales or in a huge puppet show. I visited the Vatican Museum to see art, not to get indoctrinated with religious blabla. Of course, I accepted the rules of the museum, but I still have the right to complain about them.

@EendjeKwak since i was there 2 years ago, they might have changed the rules

@xXLilleWilleXx I was there two days ago. I think they changed the rules as I see several flashes and I don't here "shhhhhhhhhhhh!" or "clap clap".

@rhdtv2002 its a sacred place, and tourists overrun the place.... loud talking in the st pietro (I was there myself this summer) all flashing cameras which is not allowed at all (flashing)... very annoying, and 1 tourist wouldnt do so much damage, but 20 million a year do.... which is why I hate those loud tourists filming everything like they have the right to do that.
you are the guest there, and you should listen to the rules or simply said: fuck off...
