Incidentally, couple of years ago I was viewing said ceiling...
...and it's the only room in the Vatican museum where you are not allowed to take photos (even without flash), and loads of security personnel are very active in making sure this rule is enforced.
I wasn't surprised when, as we came out, there was a whole shop full of postcards and prints of the frescos for sale.
Then I saw a lady going through the entire postcard rack and taking a photograph of every single one. Talk about tight as a gnat's chuff !
