French President Emmanuel Macron said the renovation will include a new entrance near the Seine and underground rooms. There will also be a dedicated room for 'Mona Lisa.'

The French president said the project would be paid for by the museum’s own resources and private donors, not taxpayer money.

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.
