French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the Mona Lisa will be moved from its current location at the Louvre's Salle des Etats to a dedicated exhibition space. This change aims to improve overcrowding issues at the museum and ensure that the Mona Lisa receives the presentation it deserves. The move will also allow other masterpieces in the Salle des Etats, such as works by Titian and Veronese, to gain more attention and appreciation from visitors who often focus solely on the Mona Lisa.
This particular space, accessible independently from the rest of the museum, will allow 'The Mona Lisa' conditions of exhibition, presentation and interpretation it deserves.
People have just been coming to check their 'I paid a visit to the Mona Lisa' box. Even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings, you would be distracted by the Mona Lisa.
The Wedding at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre. It was brought back from Venice by Bonaparte after the Revolution.
The move aims to mitigate the Louvre's overcrowding problem and enhance the exhibition experience for both 'The Mona Lisa' and other artworks.
