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 91% market-implied odds on “No” for a public exhibition of the Salvator Mundi by December 31, 2026, reflect the painting’s continued storage in a secure Geneva vault under Saudi ownership since its 2017 record sale, with no verified loans or institutional announcements emerging. Trader consensus draws from repeated past postponements—including the canceled 2018 Louvre Abu Dhabi showing and its exclusion from the 2019 Louvre Leonardo retrospective—alongside the work’s planned role as centerpiece for a major new Riyadh museum tied to Vision 2030, where construction timelines extend well beyond year-end. Historical patterns of secrecy around high-profile private holdings and the absence of guild-style precursor signals or credible previews reinforce this positioning. A late official confirmation of a temporary loan or accelerated unveiling remains a realistic, if low-probability, catalyst that could shift sentiment.
