Welcome to Season 2 of The Wonder Podcast. This episode tells the true story of a thief who stole the Mona Lisa. Every year 10 million visitors come to the Louvre museum in Paris to see this portrait of a 16th-century Italian noblewoman by Leonardo da Vinci. But it was not until she was stolen on 21 August, 1911 that the Mona Lisa achieved global fame. So who took her, and why wasn't she found for over two years? Did you know that Pablo Picasso was even a suspect? This podcast is read by Henrietta McMicking with sound editing by Max Watson. The script was written by Henrietta McMicking, and produced by Camilla Akers-Douglas. Our theme music is by the amazing James Burrell To contact us, email camilla@wonderaudio.co.uk or henrietta@wonderaudio.co.uk Social media
