I went to the Louvre in 2012, and I was able to walk up the Mona Lisa without a queue. I and a few others admired it for several uninterrupted minutes. I took a selfie and left. It was a very special moment.

I think they should do a reservation or lottery system to preserve the opportunity for intimacy. Make sure you actually get to spend time with work. Otherwise if you are only giving people 30 seconds (as the article states), you are encouraging the just-take-a-selfie-and-leave attitude.
