In an effort to share its masterpieces with even more people around the world, the Vatican Museums has established a YouTube channel and revamped its website to offer high-resolution images and mobile-friendly information.
The Musei Vaticani YouTube channel lists short visual tours of some of its collections along with a handful of promotional videos highlighting specially tailored tours and services offered on-site, including signing guides for the deaf or hard-of-hearing.
Its website, museivaticani.va, has been completely revamped to be compatible with all platforms and devices in order to extend its reach to even "remote corners of the earth," said Barbara Jatta, the museums' new director, said at a Vatican news conference on January 23.
