During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war,many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis I became king of France in 1515 ，he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci's Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.
