The Mona Lisa is very tiny indeed. When I was touring the Louvre (gosh that makes me sound posh) I went in through the crowd to look at it, my little 3ds tour guide bleating away, and then I turned around, and the entire back wall of the room was taken up with a singular gigantic painting, ~15ft wide, that looks amazing. The Wedding At Cannae, I believe it is called.

And not one person was looking at it when I went, so obsessed were they at getting selfies by the Mona Lisa.

I found someone putting video footage up of simply entering to look at the Mona Lisa, then turning around. Doesn't quite capture the feeling of actually being there, but it gets a glimpse of it, just the SCALE of the painting after you're whelmed with the Mona Lisa's true presence.

You miss that "natural discovery" type feeling when it's all digital.
