520    In 1939, curators at the Louvre nestled the world's most 
       famous painting into a special red velvet-lined case and 
       spirited her away to the Loire Valley. So began the 
       biggest evacuation of art and antiquities in history. As 
       the Germans neared Paris in 1940, the French raced to move
       the masterpieces still further south, then again and again
       during the war, crisscrossing the southwest of France. 
       Throughout the German occupation, the Louvre's staff 
       fought to keep the priceless treasures out of enemy hands,
       often risking their lives to protect the country's 
       artistic heritage. This is the sweeping, suspenseful 
       narrative of their battle.
