Description
In today's episode, we’re traveling back to 1990, when two men dressed as police officers were let into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts. 81 minutes later, thirteen priceless works of art were gone — currently valued at over $500 million. No alarms sounded. No suspects were arrested. More than thirty years later, only the empty frames remain — silent witnesses to the greatest art heist in history.
