There is simply too much here and it is all much too close together. On top of that, most of these paintings are dense and rich. Do you want to overload your ability to take in visual stimuli? Do you want to become exhausted at the idea of looking at things? This place will do that to you. If you cram a room full of two dozen masterworks and then cram a building full of hundreds of such rooms, you rob each painting, each accomplishment of its worth and you render all these great paintings little and loserly.
I am a real appreciator of art so it pained me that I was left unable to even appreciate most of the paintings. It became this sad march to just get through them all. I lost, somewhere along the way, my ability to let things catch my eye, my ability to be impressed by amazing, detailed works of perfect technical proficiency.
Unless you have the time to really let things sink in, (and I don’t think you’ll be able to do this unless you’re a citizen of Paris,) then you’ll just have your mind fried and no edifying experience to take home with you.
