The closure of the “Vatican” museums to the new pop selection

The Vatican museums, which also include the Cystine Church, were closed to the public because of the Vatican preparation for the Cardinals’ gathering to select the new pop after the death of Francis.

ArtNews wrote that the Vatican has not announced a specific date for the reopening of these attractions; There has been no specific time for this election, formally called Concilio (Cardinal Assembly). Some of these assemblies have taken weeks. The longest in the history of the pops took almost three years, though today’s assemblies, such as those that led to the choice of Pope Francis and Pope Benedict 16, took less than a week. Pope Francis was buried last Saturday, and a four -day mourning period is required before the start of the Cardinal Assembly.

The Vatican Museums include several hundred years of artwork and historical objects, including treasures of Renaissance and Baroque paintings and sculptures, as well as modern works by artists such as Paul Guggen, Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. A collection of Vatican historical structures, such as “Rafael Rooms”, named after Rafael’s wall paintings by Rafael, is one of the most visited cultural attractions in the world. According to Vatican reports, in year 2, about 1.5 million people visited these museums. The new pop will not only be responsible for guiding the Catholic Church, but also the official owner of the vast property.

Pope Francis was a popular figure both inside and outside the Catholic Church because of its simplicity and kindness, as well as its explicit positions against the evil of war and occupation. He also had a remarkable presence in the art world, according to today’s criteria; In year 2, he was the first Pap to visit the Venice Binhal.

Also during the Pope Francis era, for the first time in the Vatican, a conversation began about the return of colonial objects kept in the Vatican Museum Collection. He returned to Greece three pieces of Parthenon sculptures, which were kept in the Vatican complex for two centuries, and in his first public comment, he called the return of these objects “the right action” that institutions should do if possible.
