I know this will get booed but I found the Sistine Chapel underwhelming. Part of it has to do with, like you mentioned, being overwhelmed or maybe touristed out. The previous year I'd spent 4 months in Europe and after the 3rd or 4th city I just got tired of churches and museums. While it was over a year later, when I made it to Rome, the Sistine Chapel just didn't push any buttons for me.
I'm not saying anyone should agree with me. Only that I don't find it shocking if some people say the Sistine Chapel didn't trigger any strong lasting memories.
- stavros 5y agoSame, a few days ago I chanced upon a photo I took of it (you're not supposed to take photos) and I was surprised I didn't remember it basically at all. I do clearly remember being in its fairly small room with a billion other people, though, and only having X minutes to look at it before the next group has to come through. I also remember being disgusted at the vast, obscene wealth that the Vatican has amassed and regretting giving them more money.
