Clementoni - 39498 - Vatican Puzzle Sistina Hat Panorama Puzzle for Adults and children-1000 Pieces

I bought this for my daughter as a New Year's present. She started working on it right away and finished in about a week. While it was a little frustrating at times, I suppose, because some of the 'architecture'-like designs were repetitive, that means the puzzle was challenging and fun enough to do. The finished product is gorgeous, we can't find a place good enough in her room to hang it up. Highly recommend to any jugsaw puzzle lover, it's absolutely wonderful.

This was a fun puzzle! I put it together in 5 days working a couple hours at a time. Challenging and a wonderful topic. I chose this brand because the colors were not as washed out as other options, though there was not so much color enhancement added that the authenticity is lost. Good puzzle.

challenging

Interesting but difficult to figure out attack strategy.

Missing 2 pieces and ended up with two of the exact same one.

Not even sure it is worth a 1 star rating. Bought this puzzle of the Sistine Chapel for my wife for Christmas. We just “finished” it and discovered that it was missing 21 pieces. They have a replacement program for missing pieces, but buyers in the US are not eligible. Given the lack of quality control, will never purchase another Clementoni puzzle.

Took us 4 days to complete. The images in the pieces are quite blurry. It would be great to have better quality pieces and a full size paper copy to orient yourself. I was saved by the page on Wikicommons about the ceiling, where I could see better quality pictures that helped me to understand it.
