I could spend a week in there...easily!!! My other suggestion would be to get a map and find your top priorities to target. Then you will see the important highlights first and can enjoy the rest of your visit wandering through. Have a great trip! Cheers- Lori Hello Celia,

I'm in the midst of planning a visit in two weeks and need all the help I can get to pack in as much as possible in the limited time I have! A day does not seem enough to me.

There appeared to be a land mass in the distance which they were rowing towards. Amost as if they had been shipwrecked. Would you happen to know the artist andor title of that painting? Thanks Lori,

The first time I saw 'Mona' I thought the same thing! She is small, and I loved seeing her in person. It was so crowded though! Thanks for the visit- Lori Hi Diana,

All of the poster-sized reproductions had prepared me for a larger scale, and then she was child-sized. I was not sure what I was expecting, but when I looked at the painting I suddenly wanted to look after it, which was not at all what I had been thinking. A little while later I was the huge picture of Cardinal Richelieu, which was my other favourite thing of the day, and together the two bracketed the sizes I could fit into my head in a limited time.
