360-Degree, Panoramic, Moving View of Sistine Chapel

James Martin, S.J.April 01, 2010

I don't even know what this is called. (Techies weigh in here.) It's sort of an online, high-res, movable, 360-degree, clickable image of the Sistine Chapel. Check it out. Wait for it to load and then drag your mouse to where you want to go and zoom in. Sometimes I feel like I'm 100 years old and still amazed at the web. Anyway it's here.
