Why is the Mona Lisa the most famous painting in the world? Because she was stolen from the Louvre! Join us this week as Alexis teaches Hailey about how the Mona Lisa is discovered missing, why Pablo Picasso is questioned, and so many conspiracy theories about who took it, all of which are wrong! And join us for part two where we let you know what actually happened, which is much less interesting than you'd think.
