David Draws a Crowd

Michelangelo's "David" is the primary reason to visit the Accademia Gallery, to which a continually milling crowd of people in this area of the museum attests.

Note the "selfie" in the above photo.  And the curious expressions on a few faces, as if to ask, "Why is that guy taking a picture of me."

It's just Retiring Guy's way.

Clearly, though, Mona Lisa remains the biggest draw in the museum world.  (Photos from Dec. 2011)

Photos of this small portrait (30"x20") must be taken at a distance.
