My PhD physicist friend said the female sculpture in picture #3 probably is Greek goddess, Venus 維納斯女神 with her two arms. What do you think?

I jointed a private owned travel agency to visit Vatican, so that I don't need to wait in long line to get ticket or go through online in hotel room. I simply asked the hotel receptionist to book a travel agency to Vatican. You need to book few days ahead of time because Vatican is very popular. Everyone wants to see Michelangelo's works.

After waited in long line to get in "Museum of Vatican", then you will enter the famous Sistine Chapel. However, you are NOT allow to talk or take pictures inside of Sistine Chapel. There are many signs say "Sistine Chapel is a Holy place please follow dress code, don't talk, don't take photo", but I still saw many people took pictures in Sistine Chapel. A man kept yelling "Silence, Silence", "No picture". But some people still take pictures.

You need to Google "Sistine Chapel" for inside pictures because I didn't take any.

There are too many sculptures, oil paintings from floor to ceiling and both sides of wall, ceramic wine bottles, bowls, ..... Too crowded, so little time to look each item, ... so I took many pictures. They are all made from talent Michelangelo.
