Jocondologie

Jocondologie is the study or collection of objects concerning the Mona Lisa -- in French, she's called "La Joconde" -- meaning the smiling one. The very first Jocondologist was Jean Margat, who wrote a long treatise on the subject. He also coined the word "Jocondologie."

I have practiced Jocondologie for a long time. Here are a few photos from my Jocondological room:




My newest item: a pop-up book called Where are you, Mona:
