Leonardo da Vinci's famed "Mona Lisa" portrait is getting a new home at Paris' Louvre while the museum undergoes renovations.

The world's most visited museum is also overcrowded, antiquated and desperate for renovations that will start next year and include separate space and tickets for Mona Lisa.

President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to alleviate crowds at the Paris museum and to charge higher fees for visitors from outside the European Union.
