Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

This guide to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston centers on the early morning of March 18, 1990, when two men disguised as Boston police talked their way past a young guard and made off with thirteen works, including a Rembrandt and a Vermeer. You'll hear about the will of the Boston heiress who built this Venetian palace and forbade the collection from ever being rearranged, and about the decades-long hunt and reward that followed. Stand in front of the empty gilt frame the museum has left untouched ever since.
