★ The Mona Lisa took da Vinci almost four years to complete the painting.
★ He began in early 1503 and finished in late 1506.
★ It actually has a recent imperfection.
★ In 1956, a man named Ugo Ungaza threw a rock at the painting, which resulted in a small patch of damaged paint next to her left elbow.
★ The painting resides in its own room in the Louvre Museum in Paris and is protected in a climate controlled environment and encased in bullet proof glass.
★ This room was built especially for the painting and cost the museum over seven million dollars.
