I'm not sure if things changed since I visited the Louvre in Paris,
France, but when I was there, you were allowed to take photographs of
the Mona Lisa. However, you weren't allowed to take FLASH photographs
of it. This was about 15 years ago, though.

My father took a picture of the Mona Lisa while we were there and I
don't remember him having to get any permission or sign any papers.
He just walked in front of the painting and its guards, took the flash
off his Canon AE-1 camera and took a picture. :-)
