Paris: The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the world's most famous portrait, could get a room of its own in the Louvre, the museum's president said on Saturday.
Such a move would give visitors, many of whom visit the Louvre for the iconic painting alone, a better experience, Laurence des Cars told the France Inter broadcaster.
"It's always frustrating when you don't give visitors the best possible reception, and that is the case for the Mona Lisa," she said.
"A better solution seems necessary to me today," she said, adding that the Louvre was in contact with the culture ministry about potential solutions.
The Louvre, the world's most popular museum, welcomed close to nine million visitors in 2023.
