I've been there. The real experience: high ceiling-ed (duh!) dark room, crowds of people, stuffy air though cooler than the rest of Vatican City by far*, and the shouting of guards saying not to take photos as people take photos. (In the other art halls at the Vatican, where one is allowed to take photos, the guards ominously yell, "No flash!")

Regards,

Dan
