A Capela Sistina é uma capela situada no Palácio Apostólico, residência oficial do Papa na Cidade-Estado do Vaticano. É famosa pela sua arquitetura, inspirada no Templo de Salomão do Antigo Testamento, e sua decoração em afrescos, pintada pelos maiores artistas da Renascença, incluindo Michelangelo, Rafael, Perugino e Sandro Botticelli.
A capela tem o seu nome em homenagem ao Papa Sisto IV, que restaurou a antiga Capela Magna, entre 1477 e 1480. Durante este período, uma equipe de pintores que incluiu Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli e Domenico Ghirlandaio criaram uma série de painéis de afrescos que retratam a vida de Moisés e de Cristo, juntamente com retratos papais e da ancestralidade de Jesus. Estas pinturas foram concluídas em 1482, e em 15 de agosto de 1483, Sisto IV consagrou a primeira missa em honra a Nossa Senhora da Assunção.
Desde a época de Sisto IV, a capela serviu como um lugar tanto para religiosos, como funcionários para atividades papais. Hoje é o local onde se realiza o conclave, o processo pelo qual um novo Papa é escolhido.

The California State Railroad Museum is a museum in the state park system of California, United States, interpreting the role of the "iron horse" in connecting California to the rest of the nation. It is located in Old Sacramento at 111 I Street.As of August 4, 2020, the museum remains closed indefinitely, due to the Corona Virus pandemic. No projected date of re-opening has been released.
The museum features 21 restored locomotives and railroad cars, some dating back to 1862. The "Sierra Scene" shows a large scale mockup of a construction scene high in the Sierra Nevada representing Donner Pass circa 1867, featuring the locomotive Gov. Stanford. Other exhibits show how the influence of railroads changed American society, influencing travel, commerce and daily life, as well as the lives of railroaders and the diversity of people who work on railroads. Changing exhibits featuring photography, ephemera, and artifacts from the museum's collection, add depth and incidental information to the overall story of railroad history. The Museum has an extensive educational program for elementary students from across the region to help them learn about railroad history using re-enactments, costumed docents, and including train and handcar rides. The roundhouse area of the museum features a rotating display of locomotives and equipment belonging to the museum. When not on display, these items are stored and worked on at the nearby Sacramento Railyards in the remaining buildings that were part of the original Southern Pacific Shop complex. A large 3-rail O-gauge model train layout is also located in the museum.
Adjacent to the main museum building is a reconstruction of the 1870s-era Central Pacific Railroad passenger station and freight depot on Front Street, which houses historic and contemporary railroad equipment. In early 2011, the interior remained closed to public use, but is occasionally open for special events. Between April and October, the Sacramento Southern Railroad, operated by the museum, takes passengers on a 40-minute, 6-mile roundtrip route along the Sacramento River on a portion of the Walnut Grove branch of the former Southern Pacific Railroad. The Sacramento Southern Railroad owns the Walnut Grove Branch right-of-way that extends south from Sacramento along the eastern bank of the Sacramento River. A few miles of track were rebuilt along the levee near Freeport, California as part of a US Army Corps of Engineers project. The CSRRM hopes to one day have a longer excursion line, perhaps as far as Hood, California. At that location the railroad passengers could disembark the train and take a tourist steamboat back up the Sacramento River to Old Sacramento.
