Indeed it is true that for much of its life it was hanging among several other pictures in the Louvre (it was hanging in the halls, but had no prominence).
Probably the best popular (and fun to read) book on the history of the picture is by Donald Sasson's 'Becoming the Mona Lisa: The Making of a Global Icon.'

It is a fun read and does a nice job of unpacking the complex history of the picture in an engaging way.
