December 12, 1911 Mona Lisa Recovered

December 12, 1911

The world famous Mona Lisa painting was recovered in Italy. Thieves, dressed as Louvre janitors stole the painting 2 years earlier.

I saw the Mona Lisa when I was in Paris. It was not easy to see it as there was a crowd of people surrounding the masterpiece.

Thanks to the website classroom clipart.com for the Arc de Triumph graphic (left) which is not far from the Louvre Museum.
