More sketches. There were over 300. I took photos of only an infinitesimal fraction of them. Here's only a few of the ones I _took_:
I learned that Michaelangelo wasn't the guy who did the LAYOUT for the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. . .

A parting photo of the place. We sat on the steps for awhile to get over our amazement and to wait for our cab ride back to Penn Station. We were highly entertained by a street musician when he - on his sax - played "If You're Happy and You Know It". . . . He gathered up about 20 or so folks like us on the steps who stood, clapped our hands, stomped our feet, and shouted Hooray! His encore performance was to slowly play Brahm's Lullaby as a dad brought his toddler daughter - in her stroller - up to watch. The fun never ends in NYC.
