The Louvre receives nine million visitors annually, and according to museum officials, the Mona Lisa is the main attraction for 80 per cent of those people. During especially busy days, 250,000 people stand in the same line my mother and I did.


They make it sound ridiculous, but the math doesn't add up. 9 million divided by 250k is 36 days. So is the place rarely open, or does it actually rarely see 250k in one day?
I hate lines for anything, so I would probably just glance at it in the distance walking by if there was a crowd. More likely the case is that I will never see it in person, don't care to.

I think a busy day at the louvre is like 25 or 30k. no idea where that 250k comes from, whomever wrote that probably just made it up.
