- opwieurposiu 7y ago"Liberty Leading the People" was near the Mona Lisa when I was there. It looks very drab on a computer screen but amazing in person.
- xxxtentachyon 7y agoIt was in a different wing with other 19th century French art when I visited in 2016, but yes, it was huge, imposing, and very moving
- ch4s3 7y agoInteresting, I was there in 2004 and it was ass to elbows and impossible to shove through to the next room. The paintings nearby were amazing though.
- was_boring 7y agoMight have something to do with economic cycles; 2004 was a better time in world economics then 2009.
- brummm 7y agoIt also might just have been lucky 15min for the first guy.
- khc 7y agoI was at the Louvre for the first time just a couple weeks ago. The Mona Lisa room was so crowded that I didn't bother lining up or looking at anything else in the room. Definitely a bad experience for people who don't like crowded museums.
