The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and home to Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa,” has requested urgent help from the French government to restore and renovate its ageing exhibition halls and better protect its countless works of art.

The Louvre faces significant issues including leaks, overcrowding, and inadequate facilities. Louvre Director Laurence des Cars suggests limiting daily visitors and reassessing the "Mona Lisa" display. Milan officials propose temporarily hosting the "Mona Lisa" during Louvre renovations.

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

Emmanuel Macron has announced a list of major changes to breathe some new life into the Louvre. Among these: the relocation of its most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.

With upgrades including a separate room for the Mona Lisa, the renovation of Paris' Louvre Museum is expected to cost between $730 million and $825 million over the next decade.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that the Mona Lisa will get its own dedicated room inside the Louvre museum, which he said will be renovated and expanded in a major overhaul that will take years to complete.
