#261 Sorry Isabella: The Gardner Museum Heist
On March 18, 1990, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston suffered one of the greatest art thefts in history. Even though only 13 pieces of art were stolen, the combined value was worth over $500 million….practically priceless. One was a Rembrandt seascape known as The Storm Over the Sea of Galilee, oh its just the ONLY SEASCAPE REMBRANDT EVER DID!
Sorry for yelling... they also took another piece called The Concert , by Vermeer. It's the only missing Vermeer in the world. The Rembrandt and the Vermeer alone were valued at the time at over $200 million....basically what we're saying is this was a big heist; the largest personal property heist in the world....so far ;)
