The flash application shows the chapel from a fixed position under the famous “Creation of Adam” fresco by Michelangelo. The application offers a similar interface as Google’s Art Project which allows users to view and explore art galleries from around the world.

The interactive application is part of the museum’s efforts to digitise its collections. You can see more of their collection here.
