Paris' centuries-old Louvre Museum — home of da Vinci's iconic Mona Lisa — is getting an $800 million makeover, and American visitors will have to help pay for it.

French President Emmanuel Macron compared the facelift to the rebuilding of the Notre Dame cathedral, which is still ongoing six years later.

The French president announced last week an extensive overhaul of the legendary museum, including a dedicated gallery for Leonardo’s masterpiece and a new entrance and exit that would take advantage of long-underused public spaces.

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

The French president announced a few changes coming to the world's largest museum, in a bid to prevent overcrowding.

One of the world's most visited pieces of art is getting a makeover. The exhibit that houses the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris will soon be under construction as museum officials hope to create a space that can accommodate all art lovers.
