Extensive 'Vatican Museums' DVD Set Scores Positive Review from Booklist

The Janson Media DVD The Vatican Museums was recommended in a recent review by Booklist. The three disc set is the culmination of three years of research and filming and features over seven hours of magnificent footage that illuminates and chronicles the great journey of the human spirit. Booklist champions the film's comprehensive coverage, fitting musical selection, and stunning cinematography.

&'This three-disc set (five chapters per disc) introduces the Vatican Museums, discusses the origins of Christian art, and views Vatican City artwork (Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Etruscan). The Sistine Chapel, Raphael rooms, Loggia, Ethnological Museum, Apostolic Palace, Historical Museum at St. John Lateran, and Great Basilica are among the toured sites. An overview of the respective museum accompanies information on the various artworks found within each... the visual transitions and music choices are exceptional, and the extensive coverage offers viewers an important visual record of extraordinary artworks. Suggested for large public library art history and travel collections.&' —Booklist
