In which city is the Mona Lisa located?

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

Answer: (A)

This question asks where the Mona Lisa is currently housed. The painting by Leonardo da Vinci resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris and has for centuries, becoming a signature work of that museum’s collection. Its journey began in Italy but it moved to France early on and has stayed in Paris ever since, commonly displayed in the Louvre's galleries. So, the city is Paris. Florence is famous for Renaissance masterpieces, but the Mona Lisa is not there. London and Madrid host major art collections as well, yet this painting is not part of those museums.
