The greatest art robbery in history occurred at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in the wee hours of March 18, 1990. Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Degas pieces were among the thirteen precious pieces of art that two burglars in masquerade as police officials stole from the museum. One of the biggest robberies in history, the artwork's estimated value of stolen was over $500 million.
But who committed the theft and where did the art that was taken go? This film takes you on a journey through the compelling account of the theft from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the ongoing search for the missing items.
We begin by learning more about Isabella Stewart Gardner's past, who founded the museum and was responsible for its priceless collection. We discover more about her love of art and how she designed a special location to exhibit her collection, complete with a lovely center courtyard planted with plants and flowers.
The actual robbery is then covered, including the specifics of how the two criminals pulled it off and made off with the paintings they had taken. We talk about some of the identity-related possibilities, like a potential connection to organized crime.
The robbery was followed by one of the most thorough and difficult investigations in history. We walk you through some of the most important leads and advancements in the investigation, including the most recent declaration that the FBI is confident they have located the stolen artwork.
We also look at how the crime affected the Gardner Museum and the wider art world. Following the robbery, the museum was forced to close for a number of weeks, and more stringent security measures have subsequently been put in place. Several books, videos, and podcasts have been produced about the stolen art, including a thorough study by the Boston Globe.
As we try to solve the riddle of the missing artwork from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, join us on an engrossing trip through the biggest art heist in history.
