Vatican Observatory Museum
In 2019, Jill delivered archival prints of her paintings “Phi” and “Juno” to the Vatican Observatory Museum. The museum focuses on historical astronomical instruments and artifacts, and has an area below the Schmidt telescope that showcases astronomical art. This can be viewed in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, through tours at the Vatican Museums.
