There's nothing about it that's better in person than looking at a high res picture of it.
The sculptures at the Louvre, however are astounding. You can't see just how good the artistic interpretation of musculature and sense of motion the statues have from photos, because (a bit obvious in retrospect) 2D photos don't represent 3D lights and shadows well.
The Venus is excellent, but the bronze garden elsewhere in Paris with The Thinker (not my favorite at the garden either) is something you can just feel.
The Rodin Museum. BTW, anyone here who lives in the Bay Area should go to see the Rodins at Stanford. That museum is arguably the equal of the one in Paris.
