Since not many of us will get to see this in person, try out the virtual reality tour.

It might take a little time to load if you have a slow connection.

1. Very cool, but I find it rather busy, almost Gaudi. I'd love to see the Pantheon in VR.
Just a bit of Snark about this chapel, it's an international treasure and practically and artistic miracle.

But busy nonetheless.

:P

Pantheon:

3. I agree.
And everyone is so muscular. Even the old women.

2. Was there in March 2010. You're not allowed to take photos, even without a flash.
