Mona Lisa<\/i><\/a>. Even if you google for some studies about the Mona Lisa painting, you will see that there are thousands of different analyses. I advise you to read a few of them before seeing the painting in real life at the Louvre Museum.<\/p>\nThis will allow you to know where to look, when in front of the painting. Look for the details. Try to figure out if you agree with the articles you’ve read and make your conclusions. Who knows? Maybe you will end up discovering new perspectives no one thought about before.<\/p>\n
I’m giving you this suggestion because what happens sometimes is that visitors get to see the Mona Lisa painting for the first time in their life and they get a little disappointed because there is such a fuss about it but when they get to be in front of it, it usually so much crowded, one doesn’t get to truly enjoy the masterpiece.<\/p>\n
If you read a little about it before seeing the Mona Lisa<\/i>, it will be much more enjoyable and you will have an easier understanding of it.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, you might decide to have a guided tour to take you through Louvre. Any experienced guide in the museum will know some history about it and probably give reasons behind Mona Lisa’s Smile in the painting. However, it is good to hear different views. Maybe ask other visitors what they think about the painting.<\/p>\n
Buy your tickets in advance<\/h3>\n
Now that you know a little more about the Mona Lisa<\/i>, you’re probably eager to see it in real life. The best way to see Mona Lisa at the Louvre<\/strong> is to buy your tickets in advance, to avoid waiting in what can be a super long line at the security entrance (thirty minutes to two hours), and then waiting in a ticket line (shorter) inside the lobby.<\/p>\nYou can buy tickets in advance<\/a> with Tiqets for any day (we have yet to see them sold out).
