Because of this, museum officials decided to use their most famous work to save the situation. The opportunity to see the Mona Lisa up close, usually granted to heads of state visiting France, has also come up for all those with enough money. It is possible to bid for participation in the annual inspection of this work, which consists of taking it out of a special display case and briefly inspecting it - involvement in this procedure was auctioned for 80 thousand euros. For a private tour of the museum with the director of the Louvre was auctioned 38 thousand euros.
