In which city is the Mona Lisa housed?

In which city is the Mona Lisa housed?

• A. Paris, France
• B. London, England
• C. Florence, Italy
• D. Madrid, Spain

Answer: (C)

This question hinges on the painting’s current home within a major museum. Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, created in the early 1500s, became part of the French royal collection and has resided in the Louvre in Paris for centuries. Today it’s on display there, in the Louvre’s galleries. The other cities are known for their own famous museums, but the Mona Lisa’s home is Paris, not London, Florence, or Madrid.
