You can't take pictures inside the Sistene Chapel. But, you can take pictures of a display showing pictures someone _else_ took inside the Sistene Chapel!

David in a room with...a big bowl. Unfortunately I didn't write down its significance. (also, we had to take this picture really quickly (see all the people around!) so we didn't have time for a proper pose)
