1990 Boston Art Heist

In 1990, at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, 13 works of art valued at 500 million dollars were stolen. Two men were dressed as cops to get into the museum. Once they were inside they tied up the security guards and disabled the security cameras before they stole the art work. To this day the art work can not be found. Investigators believe the works were sold soon after they were stolen, but have stayed in the northeast. Isabella Stewart Gardner once wrote that her biggest concern was "seeing and doing only what is beautiful."  It is horrible to think that people would steal something so amazing and ruin the museum for everyone that visits it. They way Gardner had the museum set up nothing could be changed. Until they find the art work that was stolen, there has been empty frames holding the places where the art work once was.
