Seriously though i’m biased because i’m a fiber arts sicko but if you want to see a c. 1500 masterpiece in paris i highly recommend skipping the mona lisa and seeing the lady and the unicorn tapestries:

- way less people
- rabbits
- you can get like 1 inch away if you want
- dozens of rabbits
- looks even better in person, instead of much worse
- seriously they’re HUGE
- moving visual disquisiton on the 5 senses plus bonus mysterious sixth sense
- it has bunmy rabbits

@hannah If you're in France and want to check out large tapestries, you might want to check this one out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Tapestry

@ellouis @hannah love both these tapestries! Did a small unit on fiber arts in art history and these both came up. Also worth noting the unicorn tapestry features in a recent move “Death of a Unicorn”, which was a pretty decent sort of comedy thriller with lots of fun jabs at the tech industry and super wealthy.
