The Louvre Abu Dhabi is very proud after they have acquired the famous painting at the Christie New York’s auction house last year.

Da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi”, which is a portrait of Jesus Christ in Renaissance dress holding a transparent crystal orb, was sold for a staggering amount of $450 million, making it the world’s most expensive painting.
