Sistine Chapel
About Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the pope's official residence in Vatican City. Originally known as the Cappella Magna, it takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built between 1473 and 1481. Since that time, it has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity. Today, it is the site of the papal conclave, the process by which a new pope is selected. The chapel's fame lies mainly in the frescoes that decorate its interior, most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment, both by Michelangelo.

Some of them have been removed, but they could have obviously revealed all the genitals, and they've only revealed some. They used to, when they're restoring, because they've restored Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel a number of times, the last judgment, sorry, is it's really called.
