LEGENDARY LIVES Stand in awe and wonder amid one of mankind 's greatest artistic achievements in the Sistine Chapel. Hear how in 1508, a young Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the chapel 's ceiling - a request not welcomed by the 33-year-old sculptor.

Nevertheless, he created what is considered one of the great masterpieces in history.
