re: How long would you stand in line to see Mona Lisa?

Went to the MET over the summer and they have a collection of Van Gogh thought it’d be cool to see starry night.
Walked into the room and noped right out after seeing the mass of people huddled around a picture you can pull up on your phone.
Went to the arms and armor section and the Greek/roman/egyptian wings and had a much better time.

Now that sounds more up my alley.

Met special exhibits can be brutal especially during holidays when out-of-town relatives hit. Skip those, make a virtual gallery visit online, then go see a few long-term exhibits that interest you. Arms and Armor is a good choice.
Extra tip if you are in Paris, don't stand in line at the Louvre main entrance. Enter underground via the Metro station... usually fewer people.

While I would certainly avoid the crowds (look into doing the very early morning private tour at the MET), impressionist works are vastly different experiences in person than looking at a flat image. I’ve seen some oils layered to the point that the texture of the painting varied over half an inch in places.
Anyway, all I’m saying is don’t let a single crowd crush experience have you swear off a lifetime of personally experiencing great art

Seeing a Van Gogh in person is worth it because of the texture he used in his medium. Doesn’t have to be Starry Night to appreciate it though.
