The Empty Frames

In the early hours of March 18, 1990, two men posing as Boston police officers talked their way into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Over the next 81 minutes, they stole 13 works of art including a Vermeer and Rembrandts only seascape. Total value: over half a billion dollars. Thirty-six years later, not a single work has been recovered. The empty frames still hang on the walls.
