I saw the Mona Lisa this past summer. The crowds were very distracting
to being able to see her and appreciate her.
My Sister-in-law had seen her on previous visits and said she was more
fascinated with the large painting at the other end of the room with
all it's details. No one was looking at that painting, so I was able
to spend far more time, "up close and personal" with that painting than
the Mona Lisa. If I could have had the same viewing opportunity, I
would most likely have enjoyed the Mona Lisa much more.

I don't think the Mona Lisa is really all that great a painting!

Have you seen it in person?
I have, and I didn't think it was worth fighting the crush of people
standing around it. Also it was so dark as to make it hard to see.
The time spent working my way towards the painting and fighting my way
out again would have been much better spent in any number of
relatively empty galleries.
