5 star museum. Wonderful and helpful staff, a marvellous place, excruciatingly packed - at 10:30 in November, I wrongly thought it was off season! I wish the ticket sales were limited so I could have picked a better time slot. 3 stars is the experience. The Sistene Chapel was like being in the standing area of a rock concert, couldn't move, couldn't see, shuffled along. Almost the whole museum was the same. Audio guide not very useful, hard to spot the tiny numbers on signs, vast areas have no information or signs - take your own guide book if curious about particular pieces, and as said - hope you're not clashing with 10 coach tours.
