The Vatican holds about 120,000 important works of art, too many to list here. However, some of the better known are the Pieta sculpture by Michelangelo and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, also done by Michelangelo.
The management of Vatican City is done by a committee appointed by the pope and has a president as well as a vice president.
Throughout the Vatican there are many works of art done for the Church.
Vatican City does not have a monarch. Its head of state is the Pope, currently Pope Francis.Clarification:While he does not go by the title of 'King' Pope Francis is a monarch, the last absolute monarchy in the world. It is not a hereditary monarchy, however. He is chosen through an election by the College of Cardinals. The day to day administration of the Vatican is done by a committee led by a president and vice president. The Pope, however, has absolute veto power.
The Second Vatican Council happened in the first half of the 1960's a little over three years: It opened under Pope John XXIII on 11 October 1962 and closed under Pope Paul VI on 8 December 1965.
The Creation of Adam is part of the massive ceiling of the Sistine Chapel done by Michelangelo. The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome.
It has been fifty years since the Council issued its last document, and the sad truth is that it is just now starting to be implemented. Most of the things that have happened in the past fifty years were NOT called for by the Council, but were done in the "spirit of Vatican II". The current Holy Father, and his two predecessors have made it abundantly clear that most of the things done in the "spirit of Vatican II" were wrong.

The Vatican has its archives open for study with the exception of the most recent years. This is commonly done by all governments, including that of the United States, to protect the living from possible embarrassment and other potential problems.
