Huge Disappointment: The Mona Lisa
“The Mona Lisa,” a magnificent portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci that is so well-known that even people who are not particularly interested in art are aware of it, is one of the things that you should probably avoid seeing the next time you are in Paris. It is probably the most famous painting in the world.
Although a trip to the Louvre in and of itself is something that should not be missed, we do not recommend going into the room that contains the smiling lady. The actual painting is protected by glass and a physical barrier; its dimensions are comparable to those of standard printer paper. In addition to that, there are always one million people present.
