Acquired by King Francis I of France, the Mona Lisa is now the property (собственность) of France. It is in Paris at the Louvre museum. Millions of visitors come to Paris every year to see the enigmatic smile on Mona Lisa's lips

On August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen. People thought Guillaume Apollinaire, a French poet, or Pablo Picasso stole it.

It was lost for two years, and everybody thought it would be lost forever. A worker at the Louvre, named Vincenzo Peruggia , had actually stolen it. He wanted the painting to go back to Italy and be shown in an Italian museum.

• I really like the Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa's smile is mysterious. It is so often studied, recognized, and copied that it is the most famous painting. The Mona Lisa is the best known work of art in the world.
