Twice I saw the Mona Lisa while I was in Paris, both times the room was packed. The old, the young, the dense, people who actually had an interest in art, and a shit load of Asians...To be honest, I don't really know what the fuss is all about (let's face it, I know more about art than you, so listen to my opinion or fuck off). Sure, it's a nice enough painting, but there are literally hundreds in the rooms around it that show the period just as well, if not better. Quite a few Da Vinci's are actually right out the door, and I could have stood and looked at those uninterrupted all day; to see this little picture you've got to physically push your way through the crowd, in an art gallery!
It's worse than a fucking mosh pit...
I was surprised they let you take pictures of it though. This entire trip has been a crap shoot as to who lets you take photos and who doesn't... They asked for no flash use but there were still plenty going off. Give them an inch...
So she just sits there, behind the glass, lapping up all the attention; probably the most famous painting in the world. I will take take back the title of this post, however; she's not a slut...
At these prices, a better title would be Mona Lisa is a whore...
No wonder she's smiling.
