History has witnessed many cases of art thefts. Sometimes stolen artworks return to their rightful places after all (for example, Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and The Scream by Edvard Munch). But 11 paintings worth half a billion dollars, stolen in 1990 from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, among which works by Jan Vermeer, Rembrandt, Edgar Degas, and Édouard Manet, haven't yet been found.
In the new episode of HOW IT WAS, we'll tell you about the Boston robbery, the theft of paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, which, given the audacity of execution and the unprecedented scale of damage, is often called the heist of the century. You'll learn how the biggest theft in American history was pulled off, why the FBI investigation hit a dead end, how the leader of the Boston Winter Hill Gang helped the police search for the robbers, and whether there's still a chance that the paintings will ever return to where they belong.
