Program Description

Event Details

Join presenter, Carol Jonson as she shares the history behind some of the world's most notorious art heists!

How did the iconic Egyptian bust of Nefertiti end up in Berlin's Neues Museum and the Parthenon's beautiful "Elgin Marbles" in the British Museum?  Where was Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa stashed when she went missing from the Louvre for two years?  And will the eerily empty frames hanging on the walls of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston ever have their priceless paintings recovered and reinstalled?  These are just a few of the questions you'll hear answered in this presentation on History's Great Art Heists
