Van Gogh Museum

Museumplein 6, 1071 DJ Amsterdam

Art museum with the world's largest collection of a single Dutch master's paintings and letters.

This guide to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam opens with a fast, brazen burglary on December 7, 2002, when two men climbed onto the roof, smashed a window, and made off with two paintings after their first targets proved too big or too well guarded. You'll follow the stolen canvases through a chain of underworld owners, including an Amsterdam coffee shop owner who turned out to be a rising Camorra boss. Listen for how two of his criminal contacts were assassinated before a deal for the paintings ever happened.
