I saw the Mona Lisa (not actually its real name) at the Louvre in Paris. It is but a postage stamp in comparison to the size I was expecting. A very small painting. There were hundreds crammed into the room to see her. She was every bit as magnificent as I had hoped she would be. I had a terrible time in Paris actually but this experience really stands out.
I went to a Rembrandt museum in Amsterdam and that was memorable too.
