Pretty much any well-known museum in any popular touristic city has the same problem. Should they all be closed for the general public, and only snobby journali

  Sure, other museums are crowded. (And some deal with this by having timed admissions.) However, I'm not sure I could point to another example of a single piece in another museum that attracts the outsized crowds that the Mona Lisa does. I don't think anyone is saying it should be closed. But it's not an unreasonable argument to say that it could be exhibited better. (Someone told me there was some recent rearrangement of galleries so I'm not sure what the current layout is exactly.)

  There seems to be a large contingent who would say yes to that and then complain they can't go anywhere abroad on vacation and wonder why they have massive unemployment. That sort of complete lack of self awareness and hypocrisy is distressing and unfortunately repeatably precedented.
