Rome's Vatican Museums has started using a new exhibition
area to showcase The Way of the Sea.
The collection has been available for guests from 5 star hotels in Rome to see at the Heliocoidal Ramp since December 1st 2010, with
no end date currently scheduled.
It features 60 different representations of vessels from distinct parts of the world
and photos taken by missionaries.
Guests can expect to see ships typical of Japan, England, Africa, Oceania and the
Americas in this fascinating exhibition, which was arranged by Piero Castri.
Professor Antonio Paolucci commented on the aim of the show by saying that it
represents the civilisation of man and his route to salvation.
He added that it has been produced to "bear witness historically to the
attentiveness, curiosity and respect of the Catholic universe for human cultures
beyond those of Europe, to symbolise the destiny of the Roman Church".
Admission to the Vatican Museums costs €15 (£12.75), with travellers urged by the
venue to book their passes online before they arrive.
Opening hours are from 09:00 to 18:00 local time, but visitors should note that the
ticket office closes at 16:00.
Tourists keen to travel to the complex by Metro should take Line A in the direction
of Anagnina and get off at San Giovanni.

venue on +34 955 03 70 70.
