Many years ago, my partner and I took our 7 year old daughter to the Louvre as we were in Paris anyway. Expecting her to get bored we planned on a couple of hours inside in the morning, and then move on to somewhere else... 8 hours later, and one unexpected lunch in the Louvre's restaurant, we literally had to drag her out, as despite having seen so much of the museum, she still wanted to see more. Even to this day she remembers it very fondly. We did see the Mona Lisa. It's surprising how small it actually is in person. Luckily we weren't there during peak tourist season so it wasn't the chaos that the pictures in the article depict. My daughter went on to develop a deep love of history, and has just graduated from a top tier UK university with a Honours degree in Ancient History. Her love of museums never abated either. If you have kids, take them to museums - it will always pay off.
