10The Mona Lisa – Louvre Museum, Paris, France
The Mona Lisa is arguably the world’s most famous painting, drawing millions of visitors to the Louvre Museum each year. However, viewing the Mona Lisa in person can be a letdown. The painting is much smaller than most expect, and it’s displayed behind thick glass, with large crowds competing for a quick glimpse. What should be a moment of reflection and admiration often becomes a stressful struggle just to get close enough to see the painting.
Why It Might Disappoint:
- The painting is smaller than anticipated.
- Overcrowding makes it difficult to appreciate up close.
