Though it has undergone numerous restorations, the artwork faces ongoing conservation challenges due to Leonardo's experimental methods and the large number of visitors. To mitigate these risks, a sophisticated monitoring system ensures optimal atmospheric conditions and restricts the number of visitors at any given time. This treasured site has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1980, a testament to its enduring cultural significance.
