Mona Lisa and the Hordes of tourists with selfie sticks

The greatest art museum in the world should be on your itinerary on your first visit. You need a whole day at the Louvre to soak in all the tens of thousands of art works and artifacts. You have Raphael, Michelangelo and the rest of the Ninja Turtles alongside historical discoveries.

The Mona Lisa is considered the most famous painting in the world that about 9 million people view the painting at the Louvre each year.

When we got to the room it was crowded. Hundreds of people milled around snapping photos, snapping selfies, taking videos, and rapidly changing positions for others to do the same.

Point being, tourists are ruining the experience of the Mona Lisa and the Louvre is helpless to stop it. The crowds are not respecting the painting, the Louvre and others’ appreciation.
