010 - The Skylight Caper
Curio: History, Museums, and the Things We Put in Them08/13/18 • 47 min
Another heist episode babyyyy! On Labour Day Weekend 1972, three thieves made off with 2 million dollars worth of art and jewelry from the Montreal Museum of Fine Art in Canada's largest art heist - and it's never been solved. Shan walks Jaybee through the case, digging into the research of Catherine Schofield Sezgin to lay out the known facts of The Skylight Caper! True crime in museums? Dreamy.
