It’s Time to Take Down the Mona Lisa

The Louvre does not have an overcrowding problem per se. It has a Mona Lisa problem. No other iconic painting comes anywhere close to monopolizing its institution like she does.

The “Mona Lisa” fills the covers of guides at the Louvre’s gift shop in Paris on Oct. 24, 2019. Some 80 percent of visitors, according to the Louvre’s research, are here for the “Mona Lisa” and most of them leave unhappy. (Photo: The New York Times)
