The hall before getting into the room with Mona Lisa has tons of paintings, mostly with themes from the bible.
On our 2nd day in Paris, we visited the Lourve, a must for anyone's first time in Paris. Then visit again only if you have to take someone with you and its their first visit. It will take a whole day, or two, but most people just see the important things and skim through the rest for the duration of the day. We stayed until they closed.
The Mona Lisa is without mention. Well, I had to say it somehow here. Prepare to be disappointed though, it's smaller than you think. The picture you take will not be clear because of the glass in front of it, and it may not even be the original painting. There will always be a crowd there. Both times that I was there anyway. Just be patient and make your way through to the front as people starts to leave, they inevitably will leave when they know that their picture sucks because of the glass, (I feel like Rick Steves writing a guide book).
The crowd (above) in front of the Mona Lisa. Can you see the painting?Here's my attempt, after taking 20 times.
There are other paintings as fascinating, like this one (below, in the same room as the Mona). No matter where I stand she still seems to look at me, directly.
