Is she any different than any picture of the painting?



Much like modern "influencers", She's famous because she is famous, not because she is good.

I went in 1997 and don’t recall any lines anywhere

Wouldn't join a line for such.

I wouldn’t stand in line to see it. I’ve seen it and while it is cool to have seen it, definitely not worth it unless you have some special connection with either the piece or DaVinci. But for the majority of people your time would be better spent exploring the rest of the Louvre collection. There is a lot there that is much more impressive or awe inspiring than La Jaconde.

I just walked around the line on the side. You still get a plenty good enough glimpse

First time seeing it? Maybe like 15-20 minutes. After that? 1-2 minutes. It's underwhelming.


I was going to saw 1st time - 25-30 minutes max. After that I'm good.

I'd pass it by if I was in that wing. It's pretty underwhelming relative to the hype.

Yep. It’s not a very big painting, it’s covered in a protective case. And you aren’t getting close to it. It’s basically like: “Hey you were in the same room as the Mona Lisa!”


It's always entertaining to see these types of photos considering how "small" the Mona Lisa. On the opposite wall you have the wedding feast at Cana which is humongous but overlooked because of the Mona Lisa.

I have absolutely no interest in seeing the Mona Lisa in person. Is it different in person than all the pictures of it?

I don't care who painted it or what its a painting of or when it was painted that doesn't interest me at all..

The painting itself is definitely underwhelming. With all the hype behind the painting, you’d expect it to be a huge painting. But nope, it’s barely a life size portrait. Now the Sistine Chapel is a different story. It’s not as big as you expect. But it’s amazing.


All of this

The Sistine chapel was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen with my own eyes
