337 - Heist! The $600 Million Gardner Museum Robbery
Timesuck with Dan Cummins
Paintings of the Gardener Museum
Next painting taken was another Dutch one. Landscape with obelisk painted by Govart Flink in 1638. For many years this haunting little landscape he created was actually thought to be a Rembrandt. Also stolen, Che Tortini by Edelard Manet around 1875.
On March 18th, 1990 two men disguised as Boston police officers entered the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and overpowered the two security guards on duty. In just 81 minutes, the thieves stole over $600 MILLION worth of historic art. Valued at over $200 million at the time. The Gardner Museum heist remains the biggest art theft in the world - and the biggest private property theft in US history if not in the history of world. Thirty-three years later, the case still remains unsolved. So who stole thirteen very valuable works of art? Where are they now? All of this and so much more in a unique, true crime edition of Timesuck.
