THE MONA LISA GALLERY IS THE MOST FAMOUS (I WONDER WHY) AND THE MOST CROWDED WITH VISITORS JOSTLING EACH OTHER TO BE RIGHT IN FRONT TO GAWK, GASP AND GROVEL AT THE WOMAN WHOSE SMILE OR SMIRK RATHER, CONTINUES TO FASCINATE.
See the way the eyes of Mona Lisa appear to follow you as you walk sideways! Of course this is an impossible feat as there are dozens of homo sapiens to your left and right. The only way you can walk like a crab is 20 metres away and by then you cannot see Mona Lisa's eyes.
Strangely the Louvre calls her La Joconde which is her real name and 'Mona Lisa' appears below as an afterthought!
The portrait is behind bullet proof glass so no mentally deranged idiot can scratch, splash ink, knife or damage it. It is also 3 metres away from the nearest visitor and 3 guards stand on each side.
Big signs on either side warn of pickpockets! So many visitors are struck speechless and motionless and emotionless by the vision of Mona Lisa that their wallets are pickpocketed! The theft is made easier since everyone is pushing, pummeling and pressing each other to get near so it can be easy for a professional pickpocket to slip his dirty fingers into your pocket or handbag!
So be careful.
Kee Hua Chee's eyes also follow you whever you are!
These paintings are also in the same room as Mona Lisa but they hardly get a passing glance! So don't hang out with beautiful people unless you are also beautiful as no one will ever notice you
I hopeI don't get struck my lightning but these are blind people with trained guide dogs and ear phone guides but how can they see the paintings if they are visually impaired?
Look at the darling white poodle! Just like my son Dedione Kee!
Every dog loves a tummy rub!
I love the white poodle! The darling! Reminds me of my darling Dedione!
The door to Mona Lisa gallery!
2 legends, one alive, one long dead
Kee Hua Chee meets Mona Lisa!
That's Mona Lisa, not Mona Keesa
To think Kee Hua Chee took this fab photo himself!
I wonder what the ledge is for---surely not to help an attacker climb aboard to assist him smash the glass? The surface should be laced with spikes and thorns and nails!
This is a huge painting compared to Mona Lisa!
Quite gruesome the depiction of this decapitated head
Up yours?
Notice all the figures by Leonardo da Vinci look like Mona Lisa and this is a man, not a woman! This is St John the Baptist!
Yes his eyes follow you too as you walk away!
Virgin Mary seems terrified at the angel announcing she would give birth to Baby Jesus! And I would too!
I love this old man's nose, warts and all!
THIS WAY TO MONA LISA OR LA JOCONDE, HER REAL NAME
