The Louvre Museum in Paris has launched a new exhibition titled ‘Hidden Treasures’, revealing a series of recent discoveries. Curated by esteemed historian Dr. Amelia Clarke, the display features artifacts from the museum’s vast collection, many of which are being shown to the public for the first time.
One of the exhibition’s standout pieces is a recently restored painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, which has generated significant excitement in the art community. This artwork, thought to be a preliminary study for the ‘Mona Lisa’, was found during a routine inventory audit conducted last year.
Dr. Clarke remarked, ‘This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to view the hidden gems within our collection. We are delighted to present these works to the public for the first time.’
In addition to the painting, the exhibition includes various sculptures, manuscripts, and other artworks, each presented with comprehensive descriptions and historical insights.
The ‘Hidden Treasures’ exhibition at the Louvre will remain open until the end of February, inviting visitors to discover these exceptional finds.
