The Spezieria di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere and the Ceramics Room, both just outside the Sistine Chapel, are the two new rooms that can be visited in the Vatican Museums.

The first recreates the 17th century pharmacy run by Benedictine nuns for three centuries, while the second recreates the pavement designed by Raphael for some of the Vatican's rooms and other unique works such as the 34 plates from the Carpegna Collection.
