| | | Art Scavenger Hunt for Adults | |
On March 18th, 1990, thirteen works of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Their combined value is estimated to be some $500 million, resulting in the greatest known property theft in history. The works have never been recovered.
Five miniature replicas of the stolen works have been scattered around the library. Can you locate them all? If you do, you'll be entered to win a $25 gift card to Still North! Drawing on July 31st!

| | | See the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for Yourself with a Museum Pass | |

You can see them for yourself and save on admission when you reserve our Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum pass. We also have passes to eight other New England museums.
