EP 44: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Theft

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Theft. Occurring in March of 1990, this incident is the largest unsolved case of museum theft in History! To this day, we still do not know who was responsible for the theft. No arrests have ever been made and none of the artwork has ever been recovered.

At 1:20 AM on a Sunday morning, two men dressed as police officers walked into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, tied up the museum guards in the basement of the museum, and then walked out of the museum only 81 MINUTES LATER with thirteen pieces of artwork valuing at over $600 million dollars in today’s money!
