Where is Moana Lisa?

At The Louvre

still grooving at the Louvre-

Italy has made some noises about trying to get it back, which the French has basically told them which tower they can go jump off of first, and they have no intention of returning or loaning the painting to Italy.

and they are certainly not keen to loan out their single most profitable tourist attraction,

A Painting.

Mona Lisa ? In Louvre Museum I saw her in the weekend a true exquisite work of art

At the Louvre

Right now it is probly the Louvre in paris Fris france.

"...It is not yet clear if Nyssen’s plan involves sending the “Mona Lisa” outside of the country, where its been anchored for the past 500 years.

As Bob Duggan explains in Big Think, da Vinci began painting his most famous work in Florence in 1503 or 1504, and finished it after he moved to France in 1516. Upon the artist’s death in 1519, the French king François I purchased the “Mona Lisa” and, according to PBS, hung it at a gallery in Fontainebleau, his favorite palace. In the early 19th century, the painting spent several years in Napoleon’s bedroom in the Tuileries before coming to the Louvre.

Since then, the “Mona Lisa” has left the Louvre several times. In 1911, it was swiped from the museum by one Vincenzo Perugia, an Italian worker at the Louvre who wanted to bring the painting back to Italy. The enigmatic work surfaced in Florence two years later. Later, the work went on loan abroad in Washington, D.C., and New York in 1963. Eleven years later, in 1974, it traveled to Russia and Japan.

In 2013, the Louvre rejected a request from the city of Florence to bring the “Mona Lisa” back to its birth place. “The request may have stirred up bad memories among French officials, given that it was stolen by an Italian,” the AFP notes.

Transporting such an important—and fragile—work of art comes with acute security and conservation concerns. But according to the Agence France-Presse, Nyssen told Europe 1 that she believes these are surmountable challenges, citing France’s recent decision to send the highly delicate Bayeux tapestry to England.

Nyssen also said that she does not believe works of tremendous cultural significance should be confined to a single institution. “My priority is to work against cultural segregation,” she explained, “and a large-scale plan for moving [artworks] around is a main way of doing that.”
