The Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings in the world, is owned by the French government. It is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France.
The painting has been in the Louvre's collection since 1797, when it was acquired during the French Revolution. It has been a permanent fixture in the museum since then, attracting millions of visitors every year.
While the French government owns the Mona Lisa, it is considered a national treasure and is not for sale. It is a significant part of France's cultural heritage and remains a symbol of artistic excellence.
