That Smile


The lady certainly draws a crowd. We entered the Louvre just as it opened, and like the main attraction at an amusement park, everyone made a mad dash for the Mona Lisa.




She draws an estimated 6 million visitors a year, which makes it unfathomable tho think that someone managed to steal her, lifting her right off the walls of the Louvre on August 21, 1911. With glass protection and massive crowds, I doubt that will ever happen again.

  1. You must be at the Louvre!! I'm totally jealous of your fabulous life. ;)

    I have to admit the Mona Lisa isn't at the top of my have-to-see list, but I'd still like to sometime in my life.

  2. Yes, and then move on. There is so much more beautiful art to see.
