Vatican Museum : Gallery of Tapestries

The Gallery of the Tapestries has two sets of tapestries from the 15th and 17th century; one showing gospel scenes from the life of Jesus done by Raphael's students and the other set are scenes from the life of Pope Urban VIII.













The Massacre of the Innocents





The Resurrection of Christ


It took 9 years to finish just one tapestry. They are made from the most precious materials like gold thread, silk, silver thread and wool.
