Mona Lisa – The Louvre, Paris

Last year, I visited the Louvre in which I managed to see the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci.
As we were walking through the building, I noticed how magnificent it was in size and that there were so many rooms filled with different exhibits from a variety of eras, and so we knew we definitely could not do the entire museum in one day. Therefore, we decided to pick the exhibits we really wanted to see; the Mona Lisa being one of them.

The design of the room that the Mona Lisa rested in was quite comical. The piece itself is as big as an A4 piece of paper – surprising me as the piece is so well known yet so small. On the opposing side of the room there was an enormous piece of work titled; Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese. The piece was massive and probably the largest painting inside the Louvre, and the fact that this magnificent piece, unknown to most, was opposite one of the most famous paintings in the world that was so much smaller, was very amusing.
