Art conservationists warn that plans to transport Leonardo da Vinci's painting "Lady with an Ermine" from Poland to exhibitions abroad might cause damage to Poland's most precious picture.

The Culture Ministry has agreed to let it be shown at London's National Gallery starting in November and is also considering requests to let it travel to Berlin and Madrid.
