While it is nowhere near the same as being there in person, you can now take your children on a virtual tour of the Vatican Museums. Ten museums, including the Sistine Chapel, are currently available to tour. The tours allow you a 360-degree view and to zoom in and out (although the quality goes down a bit when you zoom in). This would be a great addition to an art history class or a discussion of the Vatican.
Discover all the tours at the Vatican Museum website.
