It looks like the paparazzi got there first...

Having read the novel and been to see the film of The Da Vinci Code, I enjoyed finding this page of interactive panoramic views of some of the main locations from Dan Brown's story. Quicktime is required to experience the panoramas.

I was particlarly struck by the panorama of The Mona Lisa. It's at least one of, if not the, most famous painting in the world and I guess I shouldn't have been suprised, but the crowd looks like an international gathering of the paparazzi. I guess I just had a mental picture that going to view the Leonardo's work would be a much more sedate and cultured experience.
