Based on the true story of the world’s biggest art caper, Art Heist Experience is a true-crime walking show where socially distanced groups move through five walkable locations to gather clues. The amateur gumshoes interact with a wild group of wily career criminals, slimy con men, rumpled art-recovery specialists, a possible inside man, a gentle psychopath and the larger-than-life but definitely real self-proclaimed "Greatest Art Thief of All Time.”
The story is based on the biggest art heist in history, which took place on March 18, 1990, when two thieves disguised as police officers entered Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the middle of the night, telling guards they were investigating a disturbance. The $500 million pieces, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Manet, as well as the robbers remain at large today. Expect intrigue, high stakes and laughs. Set your personal BS detector to its highest setting and help solve this mystery.
