** Game 3, Round 9 - Geography - Find The Painting!
All of the great paintings of history are in great public museums.
Well, except for the ones super-rich people have bought and then
hidden away for themselves -- but most of the *other* ones are
in great public museums, at least. We'll name a famous painting,
and you tell us what *city* it's in.
And this is a bonus round -- you can additionally try to name
the *museum* for 2 points more. This will only be counted if the
first or only city you name is correct, so you may as well guess
the museum along with your first or only answer for the city;
you can't lose points. Don't bother naming the museum along with
a second guess on the city; it won't count.
