Saving Mona Lisa
the battle to protect the Louvre and its treasures from the Nazis
Saving Mona Lisa
the battle to protect the Louvre and its treasures from the Nazis
Book - 2018
In 1939, curators at the Louvre nestled the world's most famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and spirited her away to the Loire Valley. As the Germans neared Paris in 1940, the French raced to move the masterpieces again and again during the war. Throughout the German occupation, the Louvre's staff fought to keep the priceless treasures out of enemy hands, often risking their lives to protect the country's artistic heritage. This is their tale.
