"Unsolved: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist 34 Years Later"

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum continues to receive tips about the stolen artwork, including sightings of the two most recognizable paintings, "The Storm" and Vermeer’s "The Concert," in homes across the country. The museum's security director ruled out each sighting as being an original and emphasized the importance of focusing on the lesser-known stolen works. The 1990 art heist, valued at over $500 million, remains one of the city’s enduring mysteries, with theories suggesting local criminals with ties to horse racing may have been involved. Despite the passage of time and the deaths of suspected individuals, law enforcement officials and art recovery experts remain hopeful that the stolen artwork will be recovered, with a $10 million reward still available for information leading to its safe return.
