It is the largest theft of art in world history. 13 pieces, including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Manet, stolen from a Boston museum, and 35 years later no one has been arrested and not a single piece has been recovered. Stephen Kurkjian, whose book MASTER THIEVES has been described as the most authoritative account of the gripping story, will speak on the event and how the search even led to a house in Everett!

Using materials from discarded books, we’ll add a bit of nature and a touch of whimsy to create a perfect nook for your shelf! Materials for this program have been generously sponsored by the Friends of the Everett Public Libraries. Recommended for ages 14+, registration is required.
