Even as a young child I was very disappointed seeing it in person. Very underwhelming. The only cool part I thought was looking through the binocular things and spying on other tourists. I was an odd kid whatever

Same thing with seeing the Mona Lisa in person. It's a very small painting against the a far wall in a special room, and that room is packed shoulder-to-shoulder, asshole-to-elbow shithead tourists. Kinda cool to see it in person I guess, but not really worth the effort

Yes, that is indeed extremely strange behavior. I don't believe that it has ever been reported before /s
