    The point is to show to others that you stood in front of something famous, the painting itself is of no value to these people

      Not always. Most photos I take are really just intended for future me. A few of them have famous things I care about.

        Exactly - I’ve got a really shitty memory. I’d take a photo so that in 5 years time I’ll get a reminder from my photos app - hey, on this day 5 years ago you were in The Louvre.
