- What an amazing experience! I went with a friend and we spent 2 1/2h in there. You get an audio guide explaining all the different details in the painting and one can lay down on a cot in the center of the room to fully enjoy the ceiling. Would absolutely go again!

- Gorgeous building inside and out! I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t been to see it before. Gaia was lovely too! Incredible to think that we live on such a beautiful orb and take it for granted. Highly recommend making the trip to the Painted Hall if you haven’t already!!
