Last spring, the world’s most-visited art museum, the Louvre in Paris, proposed moving its most popular artwork—Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—to its own subterranean room. Now, that idea is becoming reality.

Leonardo da Vinci's famed "Mona Lisa" portrait is getting a new home at Paris' Louvre while the museum undergoes renovations.

An Italian official has called for France’s Louvre Museum to temporarily return the Mona Lisa as the museum faces concerns of disrepair.

Now that Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece is moving to another room at The Louvre, other Renaissance masterpieces hanging in the same space by Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese may finally get their due.

The "Mona Lisa" is to get its own new room at the Louvre art museum in Paris, allowing it to be shown off to even better advantage for visitors. The legendary Leonardo da Vinci painting is to be given a room that better reflects its importance as part of an extensive renovation of the museum,

The world's most visited museum is also overcrowded, antiquated and desperate for renovations that will start next year and include separate space and tickets for Mona Lisa.

France`s President Macron announced a renovation plan for the Louvre, including a dedicated, independently accessible space for the Mona Lisa.

French President Emanuel Macron Tuesday announced plans for a major renovation of the Louvre in Paris, the world's most-visited art museum, including moving Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" to a dedicated room, with a separate ticket, in a new part of the museum.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday that the "Mona Lisa" will get its own dedicated room inside the Louvre museum under a major renovation and expansion of the Paris landmark that will take up to a decade.
