In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, as several Bostonians were still celebrating St. Patrick's Day, two men easily conned their way into the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum, and proceeded to steal 13 priceless works of art. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the infamous (unsolved) Gardner Museum Heist, the stolen works, and the authorities' fruitless search for the thieves. The girls talk a little art history, organized crime, overcoming grief, black market art sales, and more! The pictures of the art alone are reason enough to listen, but we think you'll also enjoy the twists and turns of this modern heist that stumped the FBI.

So pour your drinks, and join us for this Unsolved Mystery!

And be sure to check out some of the modern artists we mention: @egbertmodderman, @kehindewiley, and @stevelove.studios
