While in Boston, we toured the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. I'm not an art expert, but I enjoyed looking at the various displays.
The museum's big claim to fame is the art heist.
"In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, 13 works of art were stolen from the Museum. Guards admitted two men posing as police officers responding to a disturbance call, and the thieves bound the guards and looted the museum over the next hour.
The case in unsolved; no arrests have been made and no works have been recovered. The stolen works have been valued at hundreds of millions of dollars by the FBI and art dealers.
The museum offers a $10 million reward for information leading to the art's recovery, the largest bounty ever offered by a private institution."
