March 18, 1990. Two men in Boston police uniforms ring the buzzer at the side door of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and tell the guard on duty there's been a disturbance call. He lets them in.
Eighty-one minutes later they walk back out carrying thirteen works — a Rembrandt seascape cut from its stretcher, a Vermeer, five Degas, a Manet, a three-thousand-year-old Chinese bronze. They leave the frames on the walls and the two guards handcuffed to pipes in the basement.
The security camera fed a tape recorder behind the desk. The tape was gone.
Nobody has ever been charged. None of the thirteen works has come back. And because Isabella Stewart Gardner's will forbids the collection from being rearranged, the empty frames are still hanging in the Dutch Room, holding nothing, exactly where she put them.
This is the story of how it was done, minute by minute — and why it has never been solved.
