En los últimos días se viralizó un video de personas sosteniendo placas frente a la Mona Lisa, aparentemente para bloquear las fotografías que otros visitantes intentan tomar de la famosa obra de Leonardo da Vinci. Sin embargo, el Museo del Louvre tiene instrucciones claras en su sitio web: está permitido tomar fotografías y grabar videos de las colecciones permanentes para uso personal. Lo que sí está prohibido es el uso de flash, palos selfie y otros dispositivos de iluminación. #Latinus #Info

Definitely worth checking out for a girls’ day or a fun date! #FreeThingsToDo #ThingsToDoATL #SCAD #Atlanta #museum
