Last spring, the world’s most-visited art museum, the Louvre in Paris, proposed moving its most popular artwork—Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—to its own subterranean room. Now, that idea is becoming reality.

President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to alleviate crowds at the Paris museum and to charge higher fees for visitors from outside the European Union.

Amid news of the “Mona Lisa” potentially being relocated, Francesca Caruso, cultural assessor for Italy’s Lombardy region, suggested the painting be returned to Milan, where it could be displayed alongside Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” NBC News reported.

French President Emmanuel Macron compared the facelift to the rebuilding of the Notre Dame cathedral, which is still ongoing six years later.

The French president announced a few changes coming to the world's largest museum, in a bid to prevent overcrowding.

Macron visited the museum days after Le Parisien newspapers reported on a confidential memo that the Louvre's director, Laurence des Cars, sent to Culture Minister Rachida Dati. According to the newspaper, the director warned of “a proliferation of damage to the museum’s spaces, some of which are in a very poor condition.”

The Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece that visitors crowd in to see will get a dedicated room as the Paris museum is renovated and expanded in a major overhaul that will take years, the French president announced Tuesday.

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.
