Vatican
exhibition aims to 'transport' visitors to Rome
When the 31 ancient, Roman
frescoes go on public display June 2, 2002, the museum's
Diamond M gallery will have new, curved walls installed
to route patrons through the exhibit. More...
Delicate
frescoes require special care
Daylight
pours into the Vatican Museums' restoration studio
from windows and skylights so that the restorers may
match colors perfectly in areas such as borders that
are repainted where the design is repetitious and
may be discerned. But no guesswork
is done.
Directions to the museum
Most of the museum is located
at 4th and Indiana, across from the TTU Health Sciences
Center and UMC Hospital. There is free public parking
in front.
Getting there:
- If you are coming from the south
on US 84, go north (becomes Avenue Q) to 4th Street,
turn left and follow to Indiana Avenue.
- If you are coming from Interstate
27, take the 4th Street exit, go west to Indiana
Avenue.
- If you from the northwest on US
84, go east to Indiana Avenue, turn right and follow
to 4th Street.
- If you are coming from the southwest
on US 62, go to Indiana Avenue, turn left and follow
to 4th Street.
