When shot at night, at the right angles, with spooky music on the soundtrack, the genteel elegance of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum makes for an ideal film noir setting. Such recurring images of the Venetian-style palazzo with its eerie low-lit galleries, its ornate central courtyard spectral in the night, its shadowy tunnels and passageways highlighted by cobwebs, set the mood for Colin Barnicleâs four-part, 3½-hour âThis Is a Robbery: The Worldâs Biggest Art Heist,â on Netflix.

GARDNER After an extended winter break, the Gardner Museum is once again open to the public.
The museum resumed its regular open hours of Wednesday through Sunday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., starting on Thursday, April 1.
Coordinator Marion Knoll said her staff used the extra downtime this year to sort through the museum’s vast archive, update collections and affix updated labels to various items throughout the building.
“I’ve been here every day, almost,” Knoll said. “But as you can see, I’ve updated many of the permanent displays and grouped certain items together as part of the displays.”
