Today marks the 500th anniversary of the reopening of the Sistine Chapel for worship after Michelangelo completed painting the ceiling when Pope Julius II presided at Vespers there on October 31st 1512.
There is an article about the anniversary here, which has links to other ones about the ceiling and about the issues of managing access to the chapel so as to ensure proper conservation of the frescoes. This is clearly a continuing debate about which I have posted before.
