This market will resolve to "Yes" if Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" is displayed in a publicly accessible exhibition or permanent gallery installation at any museum, gallery, or cultural institution by December 31, 2026, 11:59PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, "publicly accessible" is defined as a location to which members of the general public can purchase tickets or otherwise gain admission to view the listed artwork. Private viewings, VIP previews, displays at auction house pre-sale exhibitions, displays at art fairs, displays of photographs or reproductions of the work, or displays of digital or NFT versions of the work will NOT be sufficient to qualify for a "Yes" resolution. This market will resolve according to official press releases from exhibiting institutions, or credible reporting from The Art Newspaper, Artnet News, or The New York Times.**The "No" outcome at 90% implied probability reflects the painting’s prolonged absence from public view and the absence of any confirmed exhibition timeline.** Owned by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman since its record $450 million sale in 2017, the Salvator Mundi has not been displayed since the Christie’s auction. It has remained in storage—reportedly in Saudi Arabia or Geneva—while plans for major institutional debuts, including a postponed Louvre Abu Dhabi showing and a purpose-built Saudi museum tied to Vision 2030 projects in Al-Ula or Riyadh, have repeatedly slipped. Recent coverage through mid-2026 underscores ongoing uncertainty: no official statements or venue commitments have surfaced for a 2026 unveiling, and attention has instead turned to related but distinct works, such as the workshop-attributed “de Ganay” version scheduled for TEFAF Maastricht. Historical patterns of delays, combined with the long lead times required for high-profile loans, conservation reviews, and new museum infrastructure, reinforce trader consensus that a public exhibition by year-end remains unlikely. The market treats any potential late announcement as a low-probability swing factor given the painting’s track record of postponements.
