A massive collection of Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork will be brought together in one place Thursday to mark the 500th anniversary year of his death.

The exhibition at the ­Louvre in Paris will feature more than 160 paintings, sculptures and drawings, making it one of the biggest troves of the Italian master’s work ever.

The museum plans to showcase beloved pieces it owns, such as the Mona Lisa, along with artwork sent for the exhibit from other institutions, including Portrait of a Musician.

One of Da Vinci’s masterpieces, Man of Vitruve, which depicts the proportions of a man’s body, will be shipped to the museum from Italy and displayed for two months.

The exhibition will also feature infra-red imaging of paintings, offering a glimpse into da Vinci’s technique by revealing the layers of work underneath the finished creations.
