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.

The renovation at the Louvre Museum in Paris will see the famed Mona Lisa moved to its own, separate space, where it will be easier to manage the crowds. However, visitors will have to purchase an extra ticket to see the work of art.

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.

The Mona Lisa will get its own dedicated gallery inside the Louvre Museum which is due to undergo major renovations and expansion.

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

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

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.
