By the way, when you visit the virtual tour, if you left click and drag you can move around the rooms.

Super! And I’m really proud of Villanova U and their Professor Paul Wilson. They did a fantastic job...and they apparently plan to do other sites in the future.

You can also zoom in on individual stuff. They did a truly fine job. I have been there a couple of times and I don’t think I got a good a view as this.
