luckycatfay, I saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre many years ago and I was surprised at how small the painting really is. It probably no more than 24 x 18 inches.

Laudy Miss Claudy, I saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre as well. I actually got more pleasure out of watching the crowd gawk at the painting. I wasn't able to get very close to the painting as the crowd was so thick.
