President announced plans for new entrance to ease crowding and a separate gallery for Leonardo’s masterpiece
Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, is to be given its own “special space” within the Louvre, Emmanuel Macron has said, as he unveiled a plan to renovate the world’s most visited museum.
Standing in front of the painting on Tuesday, the French president said the artwork would be moved to a location “independently accessible compared to the rest of the museum”, with “its own access pass”.
