Macron announces major overhaul to modernise Louvre and move the Mona Lisa

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that the Mona Lisa will get its own dedicated room inside the Louvre museum, which he said will be renovated and expanded in a major overhaul that will take years to complete.
The renovation, branded Louvre New Renaissance, 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.
