In the largest art theft in U.S

history, thieves stole 13 masterpieces from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in the early hours of March 18, 1990. Disguised as police, the robbers overpowered guards and made off with paintings including works by Vermeer (The Concert) and Rembrandt (Storm on the Sea of Galilee), together worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite decades of investigation, the artworks have never been recovered and the case remains unsolved. Empty frames still hang in the Gardner Museum as placeholders, and the heist has become legendary in art crime chronicles.
