The Vatican archives, more than 1,000 year old, will go on show in a special exhibition in Rome's Capitoline Museums from February to September this year to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the establishment.

Conclaves, heresies, popes and emperors. Crusades, excommunications, ciphered letters. Manuscripts, codices, ancient parchments, strings, deeds and registers. A unique and once-in-a-lifetime event recounting history through its sources as it will be the first and possibly the only time in history allowed out of the Vatican vaults: 100 original documents, preserved for 400 years in the Popes' Archive, 85 linear kilometers of shelving; records of an extraordinary historical value, covering a time-span that stretches from the 8th to the 20th century.

The title, Lux in Arcana, communicates the main scope of the exhibition: the light that filters through the nooks and crannies of the Archive (lux in arcana) illuminates a reality that is sealed off from a superficial knowledge, but understandable only through actual and direct contact with the Archive's sources, that opens the doors to the discovery of the sometimes unrevealed history narrated by the documents.
