Ten stops, from the Laocoön in the Pio Clementino to the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.

The tour follows the museums' one-way route, so each stop comes up as you reach it. You listen on your own phone, with your own headphones, at your own pace.

Each stop takes a few minutes. Start it in front of the work and pause whenever you like.
