Rome by night: Vatican Museums evening opening

Rome’s Vatican Museums evening opening is tonight, with tickets available on the Vatican Museum site.
The after hours opening lasts through the evening, with the Sistine Chapel open until 11pm.
It appears the event is a one-off, but if successful, we could see the Vatican open until late more frequently, especially during the summer months.

Perhaps Rome residents and the rest of us, will avoid Vatican queues like these!
