Musée Marmottan Monet

This guide to the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris opens on October 27, 1985, when five armed men walked in during opening hours and stripped nine paintings from the walls, including Impression, Sunrise, the small hazy canvas that had accidentally named an entire art movement. It follows the cold trail that eventually crossed paths with a Yakuza figure in Japan and led investigators back toward France. Along the way you'll hear how Michel Monet, Claude's son, built the collection the thieves targeted. Listen for the detective work as much as the heist itself.
