Sistine Chapel - The Chapel Is The Only Place In The Vatican Where Photography And Filming Are Completely Banned. Undoubtedly One Of The World’S Most Famous Buildings, The Sistine Chapel Is A Testament To The Immense Skill Of History’S Greatest Artists Within The Renaissance Era. The Real Reason For The Ban Dates Back To 1980. During This Time, The Restoration Of The Masterpieces Within The Chapel Was To Be Completed. Due To The Cost Of This Restoration, The Vatican Officials Looked To Outside Companies To Fund The Project. The Request Took Place, And The Highest Bidder Was The Nippon Television Network Corporation Of Japan, Offering 4 Million Dollars To Restore This Great Masterpiece. As Repayment, The Vatican Officials Provided The Company With The Complete Rights To The Photography And Filming Of The Restored Art. This Exclusivity On Photography Was Stated To Expired Three Years After Each Artwork’S Restoration Was Completed, However, The Ban Is Still In Place Today. Given The Damage That A Large Amount Of Flash Photography Can Cause These Artworks, It Is No Surprise That The Vatican City Officials Continued The Camera Restriction When Nippon’S Contract Expired.
