Located in the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, the painting is 15 feet high. It stretches roughly 29 feet wide.
Da Vinci painted the fresco between 1496 and 1498 to represent the last dinner between Jesus and His disciples.
To keep the painting maintained at the right temperature, only groups of 25 visitors may view the masterpiece every 15 minutes, according to Milan-Museum.
"The 'Last Supper' and the Pinacoteca di Brera receive 1 million visitors a year, and take in more than 10 million euros ($10.5 million) in revenue," said Crespi.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Pinacoteca di Brera museum for further comment.
Rare artifacts will be featured in the "Give Me Liberty" exhibit at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond to commemorate America's upcoming 250th anniversary.
