Which Paris museum houses the Mona Lisa and Liberty Leading the People?

• A. The British Museum
• B. The Louvre
• C. The Uffizi Gallery
• D. The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Answer: (B)

Both Mona Lisa and Liberty Leading the People are housed in the Louvre in Paris. The Louvre is renowned for its vast collection of masterpieces, and these two iconic works are among its best-known pieces. Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a small yet famous portrait from the early 1500s, and Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, painted in 1830, both reside there, making the Louvre the natural home for them. The other museums mentioned are in London, Florence, and New York, and while each is a major institution with important works, they do not hold both of these paintings in their collections.
