Trip Review-Day 9 The Louvre Still....

And so, this is the Italian room in the Louvre and this throng is vying for a glimpse at the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.  Isn't this ridiculous?  How can you hope to enjoy this famous painting?  This is stop #2 in my "Invisible Art" series.  The greatness of the painting is totally obscured by glass in front, a fence around the painting, thousands of tourists elbowing for a view.
Maybe someday it will return to the art museum quiet the Louvre once had.  I'm not sure when.

Hey,  I saw the Mona Lisa in Paris!
