French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous painting, will be moved to its own dedicated room Photograph: APThe renovation will include a new entrance near the River Seine, to be opened by 2031, and the creation of underground rooms, Mr Macron said in a speech from the Louvre room where the Mona Lisa is displayed.
According to the document first released by French newspaper Le Parisien, Ms des Cars warned about the gradual degradation of the building due to water leaks, temperature variations and other issues “endangering the preservation of artworks”. The Pompidou Centre, another major museum in Paris, is set to close to undergo a five-year renovation worth 262 million euros , starting from the end of the year.
The Mona Lisa is displayed behind protective glass in a room that is often overcrowded by large, noisy queues of visitors Photograph: APMs des Cars asked for the issue to be “reassessed”, suggesting a possible transfer of the museum’s most popular attraction to another room that would be specifically dedicated to it, which is what Mr Macron has said will happen.
