Is The ‘Mona Lisa’ Worth The Wait?
The Mona Lisa
January 6, 2023
The Mona Lisa is the most visited painting in the world, but why? Yes, it may be a very impressive painting for its time, but what makes it better than other breathtaking art pieces?
The ‘Mona Lisa’ is on display in the Louvre Museum and at the display, there is an extremely long line just to take a photo with hundreds of others who would like to take a photo with the painting as well. Getting pushed and shoved just to get the right angle to publish the photo on social media that already exists.
The wait takes about three hours, including getting into the museum. Instead of waiting in line and wasting precious time on one piece of artwork, people should take the time to view many of the other astounding art pieces the Louvre Museum has to offer.

think that the Mona Lisa is worth the wait because while waiting you can view many of the other amazing paintings. Even though, yes, three hours is quite a long wait time to see a painting it may be worth it. You never know until you see it yourself, and the experience is different for everyone.

I must disagree with this opinion because even when the Mona Lisa is one of the most visited painting inside the Louvre, in France, there are many other famous paintings and artifacts visited. Many come to be disappointed with its size expecting something grand. The real value in the painting is the time and effort spent on the painting. Not to mention the puzzling effect the eyes seem to have, as if they were following you. Leonardo da Vinci didn’t have modern tools like we have today yet the precision of the strokes is breathtaking. But it all depends on the attendee of the museum.

I don’t that the Mona Lisa is worth the wait, I mean there are many other amazing paintings and you can get a picture online you don’t have to wait for hours just to see something that you have seen many many times online.

This article is definitely a bit small but it explains exactly how famous the Mona Lisa is. While the wait is long the painting is so famous that you should probably still go and see it if you are nearby.

People NEED to see this 🙂

The Mona Lisa is not worth the wait because pretty much everyone has seen it at least once. It doesn’t make up for the wait and being bumped around.

I think that the ‘Mona Lisa’ is definitely worth the wait the ‘Mona Lisa’ is a famous painting that I would be honored to admire in person. The ‘Mona’ Lisa may not just be some people’s art style and that’s fine but I think it’s a well-known painting for a reason. Social media is a thing but being able to see it in person is so much different. I love the way this article can influence somebody to spark a conversation.

Honestly, I wouldn’t go to see the Mona Lisa because the line is too long but I think the art of the mona Lisa is beautiful I rate this news paper a 10/10
Sophia Wills • Jan 6, 2023 at 1:02 pm
That last line really puts into perspective how despite the beauty of the Mona Lisa, there are pictures of it everywhere. Including the wait time also helps to show that the Mona Lisa may not be all that important to see.

I think that the mona lisa is not worth it was stolen and now it is famous and people need to see it
Keaton K • Jan 6, 2023 at 1:02 pm
I agree, I don’t see what is so special about the Mona Lisa, its just like every other painting out there but older.
Emma Braaten • Jan 6, 2023 at 1:00 pm
I knew the Mona Lisa in real life was just a small painting, I did not know it took so long to even get in the museum! Wonderful story!
Kayla Bobb • Jan 6, 2023 at 12:59 pm
It was so crowded when I saw her, and small, but it was still very pretty. Good job!
David Mazzella • Jan 6, 2023 at 12:34 pm
I feel that the Mona Lisa is definitely not as good as many people seem to think, I believe that just because it’s a pretty well made painting it is not worth being called the greatest painting or waiting 3 hours to see for.

I really enjoyed reading this article for many reasons, it had good illustration, the evidence of why The Mona Lisa is one of the most visited paintings in the world. Overall, this was a really interesting topic to learn about, keep up the great work!
Tristan Russell • Jan 6, 2023 at 12:05 pm
I disagree with this thought, yes it may take a really long to get in but at least its beauty is worth the wait, I mean if it takes over three hours to get that means that it is very popular, but it’s breathtaking and that’s really all that matters.

Amazing article! I love how you include some crucial details, including stuff like the average wait time! I am so glad I read this!
Logan Siegel • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:53 am
I think this topic is very interesting and I didn’t know that you had to wait to 3 hours.
wells • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:42 am
I like how the author includes how impressive the Mona Lisa is and also how some people wait 3 hours to take a picture of something that already exists.
Sonny Sharmin • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:40 am
Excellent Article! Your finishing sentence left your reader with something to think about and you made the reader question whether or not it was worth it the whole time. Good word choice, punctuation, and sentence structure. All in all, great article.
Dominick Raffone • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:39 am
This is an excellent point about the Mona Lisa line wait. Why would you wait three hours for a picture already on the internet?
Sophia Rodman • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:39 am
great article angela
Sri • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:38 am
I think this is a very interesting topic and i did not think you have to wait that long.
Sophia Schmitt • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:36 am
This is an awesome point! Everyone waits in these huge lines to see a picture everyone knows, but we don’t know why it is so popular instead of other astonishing pieces. You made a really good article and points.
Cat • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:27 am
I love the questions in this. It brings up good points and really makes you think about why the Mona Lisa is so popular.
Annabelle Clawson • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:26 am
I didn’t know that the wait was that long! That’s really interesting.
Else • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:25 am
I agree with the fact that people are wasting time waiting to look at one painting. Though the ‘Mona Lisa’ is very famous, there are plenty of other beautiful works of art.
Gwen • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:20 am
The ‘Mona Lisa’ is a classic painting. It is really sad that you have to wait so long to actually look at it.
Braxton Humphreys • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:19 am
I like how you made your point clear and stopped the article with a question.
Aiden Morejon • Jan 6, 2023 at 11:19 am
I really want to visit Paris and the Louvre Museum, if I ever go to this museum I will definitely listen to this tip and look at the other pieces of artwork the Louvre Museum has to offer.
