Organized Crime: The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist (9/15/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, one of the most audacious art thefts in history, took place on March 18, 1990, when two men disguised as Boston police officers gained entry to the museum, subdued the guards, and stole 13 priceless works of art worth an estimated $500 million. Among the stolen pieces were masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Degas. Despite decades of investigation, including links to organized crime and several tantalizing leads, the stolen art remains missing, and the identities of the thieves—who were eventually named by the FBI—are now believed to be deceased. The case, still active, continues to captivate the art world as investigators pursue new leads, offering hope that the missing works may one day be recovered.
