Mona Lisa's smile a touch clearer through Louvre's new protective glass

After multiple attempts at vandalising painting, Louvre Museum in Paris installs new bullet-proof glass to protect Mona Lisa painting

Visitors take pictures in frront of Mona Lisa after it was returned at its place at the Louvre Museum in Paris on October 7, 2019. Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the"Mona Lisa," returned to her usual spot in Paris' Louvre Museum on October 7 following a two-month renovation for the gallery housing the world's most famous painting.

Vincent Delieuvin, curator of 16th-century Italian art at the museum told Reuters Television that glass technology has improved significantly in recent years and the painting's previous 15-year old bullet-proof glass no longer gave the best possible viewing experience. On October 24, the Louvre will open an exhibition celebrating the works of Leonardo da Vinci to mark the 500th anniversary of his death.

The Louvre opened a new sprawling art conservation centre Tuesday some 200 kilometres from Paris to protect the museum's priceless artworks from its flood-prone storage reserves.
