AIBU disappointment at the Sistene chapel today

[Daffodildainty]

It was so lovely- especially the Michael Angelo - but there was No emotion Not a scream, tear or tremble in sight - WTF?

@catgirl1976
me too

Another possible dimwit here, but that doesn't look like the Sistine Chapel to me, unless some member of the Sistine Chapel Women's Guild has taken it upon herself to repaint it.

I’m sorry OP but you really need to be more careful about posting such provocative photos on this forum. You’re actions are borderline abusive...

All these people now wishing they could levitate into that photo and screaming in anguish when they realise they can’t.

Are you still in Rome? If so you need to go back to the vatican and visit the actual Sistine Chapel. Your photos were of St. Peter's. That's why no one was wailing and screaming.
I'm sorry you are disappointed but it's your own fault because you have been a bit daft and got yourself confused.

Thank you for reposting the original...I seriously never laughed so hard at a thread ever.

Oh i l am dissapointed you didn't collapse with the emotion of it all

I'm another one that suspects either it wasn't the Sistine Chapel you were at, or that you are just trolling us

Officially I’m a twit - I thought the basilica was the same as the Sistene- ho hum will have to go back to Rome - I expect at that point I’ll levitate

Aren’t those pics from St Peter’s Basilica?

Knew you were a phoney. Tut tut, didn't scream...as if.....tut 🙄

I went there last year with husband and son. None of us screamed, and neither did anyone else in there. I even sat down in there for 20 minutes to try to catch a screamer, but no. Massive disappointment all round to be honest. They wouldn't give me a refund either 😢

“Actually I felt sad at how ostentatious it all was and the poverty that existed when it was created.“

It was a massive job creator. He didn’t actually paint it all himself. And imagine how many labourers, paint mixers, cooks and so on and so on it would have needed, never mind the colour-inners. For years!

Ah well, St Peter's Basilica - meh. Nobody would scream at that...not even a sharp intake of breath.

That reminds me of when I went to see the Golden temple. I went expecting pic 1, what I got was the same as pic 2!

Loved the screaming thread, disappointed in you OP!

I've been wondering if the Swiss Guards have noticed an influx of British women screaming or giggling in the Chapel in the past year.....

i found the sistene chapel to be the most underwhelming place i have ever been in, the vatican museum was fantastic we got in to the chapel and it was that dark we couldnt see the paintings on the ceiling very well and you cant take photos, was a let down to be honest, loved Rome overall though

Omg Asta, now that would make me scream 😱

Lol, my favourite thread too. Really OP you must have a heart of stone not to be overcome and collapse into a hysterical screaming wreck😁.
You’re not allowed to take pictures in the Sistine chapel I got done off a guard for trying to sneak one. Had I read MN at the time I might have tried to sneak a little scream out too in honour of the thread.

You are absolutely not allowed to take photos in the Sistine chapel, so I assume that's why you didn't.

The guards are not only very strict about it, it's wrong to.

I literally clicked on this to ask if you screamed at the Michelangelo

And me!

They aren’t of the Sistine chapel? Well that will teach me not to rtft....

Why is it wrong to? @GreyRoses

It’s not wrong!

I googled it too. It’s odd. They could say no flash if that is a concern. I took a sneaky one on an old style film camera back in 2004 I think.

It’s hardly a place for proper contemplation or prayer anyway.

Nobody screamed? Clearly the place was packed with philistines who have no feelings
