Art critics hailed news of the move, saying that the precious painting has stolen the spotlight for long enough.

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.

The Mona Lisa will get its own dedicated gallery inside the Louvre Museum which is due to undergo major renovations and expansion.

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.

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.

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.
