Mona Lisa | La Gioconda

Le portrait fut probablement commencé à Florence vers 1503. Il s'agirait du portrait de Lisa Gherardini, épouse de Francesco del Giocondo, marchand d'étoffes florentin, dont le nom féminisé lui valut le « surnom » de Gioconda, francisé en « Joconde ».

There's approximately a 2 or 3 meter space between the painting and the crowd. U cant go further. There are a hundred people in front of it trying to take a selfie with it. U gotta fight ur way in

Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece! Number 1 attraction of the Louvre. Always crowded and for a lot of people underwhelming. Maybe they can marvel at the question whether La Jocanda is sad or smiling.

Michael

Along with everything else in Paris, much less crowded in the winter!

Avneesh Kohli

You’ll come see it because you’re obligated to, but it is 100% a letdown. Make up for it by people-watching the crowd around the painting .

Caroline Deng

One of the most overcrowded, overrated exhibits in the Louvre. It's a very small painting , with hundreds of people fighting and pushing to get to the front for a selfie .

Abdulrahman Almunayes ????????

Very nice museum , book with a guide better/ skip the line , very long waiting time for tickets, you need at least 3-4 hours for fast tour ! if you want to read stuff then its full day

Joseph Beandry

Sorry I do not get the hype on this one. You should get a badge for surviving this exhibit . People act like animals to take a selfie with this painting .

Nej Kutcharian

It looks like all the other replicas. Also the glass in front of it creates a lot of reflections from the lights so your pictures won’t come out as nice as you might want them to be.

Ulkem

This small painting is the star of lourve. Always surrounded by masses

Nick VdP

A little small and hard to look with all the people standing in front of it... But still a must-see!

Lina

The main attraction of Louvre. Worth the wait.♥️

Graham Siener

Take a selfie with selfie takers

Agnieszka Straszewska

Scott Thorn

Try to visit the Louvre in the early morning to avoid crowds.

Erin Boyd

Always crowded but a must see in Paris.

Keith Pitt

If you like seeing a million people with selfie sticks looking at an A4 bit of paper on the wall - come here. If you don't - skip it - and go see "Madonna on the Rocks" instead.

Andrew Bristow

Be prepared to wait for your selfie with her

Marvin

Not worth going at all. Even to say that you "saw it". It can get ridculously crowded on weekends.

Rohan

Free to enter on Bastille Day and no lines !

Claudia Mitt

Simply Mona Lisa at Louvre Museum

One and only. Not easy to get close to it.

Mahsa Habibi

To much crowd that you can not even see the painting !I don't get it.

Samira Majd

Looong line in front of it...

Vanina Inner Beauty

Don’t stare at it! Move around to see it from different perspectives.

Kapt’n Koko

It’s turned into a mess. Get there early or don’t bother at all.

Brendan Elliott

Busy, but easily viewable from afar.

Mark V

Overrated piece, but gotta get that selfie .

Simon Wright

It's not even 3D. Lame.

Mariana Alcobas

Uma sala enorme só para ela!! Linda!! Mas quem não sabe o tamanho do quadro se decepciona!! Extremamente conservada!! Vale a pena se espremer para conseguir uma selfie com ela!!

Mario Lujan

La Gioconda (Monna Lisa, Lisa Gheraldini) éspouse de Francesco del Giocondo. Léonard de Vinci, Florence 1503-1506

Slava

Супер. Увидеть и умереть ))))

Liz Ramos

Si planean ordenadamente su visita y estudian el museo antes de ir, pueden verla sin problema y sin tumultos de personas. Vayan muy muy temprano o durante la última media hora del miércoles o viernes.

Emannuel Maclaude

Deve ser vista pelo menos 1 vez na vida.

Soterios Serhat Isik

God bless you monalisa ♥️????????????

Jean François Pichard

Venir avec une entrée coupe-file et y être de bonne heure

Ruben La Rosa

Tremenda cantidad de gente .... solo falta que ordenen para que todo el público pueda obtener una buena fotografía .

Monse Pg

Hacer fila para tomar una buena foto! Recomiendo ir directo a esto y ver el resto del museo con calma
