If you haven’t yet listened to our first episode about Mona Lisa, we recommend checking out Part One before continuing with this episode about how the First Lady of the Renaissance keeps making her mark — even in our modern world.

In this episode (Mona Lisa, Part Two), we will learn about how Jackie Kennedy orchestrated the Mona Lisa’s tour to the United States in 1963. We will hear from Liz Lidgett Gallery artist Hunt Slonem who saw the Mona Lisa on that tour at the National Gallery as a middle school student. We will also examine how the Mona Lisa has inspired acts of honor and controversy over the years.

Mona Lisa (Part One and Part Two) features Liz Lidgett Gallery artist Hunt Slonem. Ten Minute Masterpieces is hosted by art advisor Liz Lidgett and produced by Maribeth Romslo.
