The world’s most famous painting, the “Mona Lisa”, is on the move.

The famous painting is being moved so that her room in the Louvre can be painted.

The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci sand it will be moved about 100m to the Medici gallery.

The fragile 500-year-old painting is very rarely handled, and will remain protected by bulletproof glass in its temporary home.
