Rome's Vatican Museums holds 39 works by Michelangelo (1475–1564) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
As a painter, Michelangelo's surviving works are few but extraordinary; the Sistine Chapel ceiling must be seen in situ to understand its physical and psychological scale. The panel paintings in Florence reveal the obsessive draftsmanship that underpinned everything he made.

Planning your visit to Rome
The Vatican Museums should always be pre-booked — entry without a reservation can mean several hours of queuing. The Borghese Gallery requires booking weeks in advance as entry is strictly limited. State museums, including many Capitoline Museums venues, offer free entry on the first Sunday of each month.
