It's impossible to observe, appreciate, study, or learn anything useful from the Mona Lisa when you're over 12 feet away in a sea of bodies. I thoroughly agree with this article, and I'd go even further. I've pretty much stopped going to popular museums because they are simply too crowded. I don't understand people who go to museums just to take a selfie in the same room as a famous artwork. If you really want to appreciate a work, you can learn far more about it on the Internet where you don't have to fight a sweaty crowd.
