Stolen Rembrandt - a photo on Flickriver

Stolen Rembrandt

            I’m in Isabella Steward Gardener Museum, Boston MA.

Some might wonder why does the museum display an empty frame? The name at the bottom is Rembrandt.

On March 18, 1990 the Rembrandt was stolen along with 12 other works of art in
in the early morning hours of March 18, 1990. Guards admitted two men posing as police officers responding to a disturbance call, and the thieves tied the guards up and looted the museum over the next hour. The case is unsolved; no arrests have been made and no works have been recovered. The stolen works have been valued at close to 600 million dollars by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and art dealers. The museum is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the art's recovery, the largest bounty ever offered by a private institution.

Experts were puzzled by the choice of artwork, since more valuable works were left untouched.
