Vatican City, May 25 (RHC)-- The Vatican Museums will reopen their doors to tourists starting on June 1st. Visitors will have access to some of the world's greatest Renaissance masterpieces as well as ancient Roman and Egyptian artefacts, but only through reservations.
They will have their temperatures checked and will have to wear face masks and use hand sanitiser. Staff will wear masks and gloves, and health workers will be on hand.
The coronavirus pandemic has drained the Holy See’s coffers as the museums are its most reliable source of income, previously generating an estimated $100 million annually.
