Now, Mona Lisa’s reputation in Musée du Louvre, Paris might get overshadowed by another female— Laurence des Cars, who is ready to replace the current museum leader, Jean-Luc Martinez. President of France, Emmanuel Macron appointed the art historian Laurence des Cars as the president of the world’s most visited museum. Her name will go down in history, becoming the first female president in 228 years since the wake of the french revolution. The current president of Musée d’Orsay and L’Orangerie, both in Paris, faced stiff competition for the position. Des Cars, 54, said her heart was “beating very strongly” when the culture minister, Roselyne Bachelot, rang her to break the news.
