The Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau (GBCVB) announced new cultural activities and hospitality partners have been added to its “Live Boston Classroom” initiative.
“Live Boston Classroom” is aimed at attracting families to adventures in the city, including overnight stays at one of a dozen area hotels providing promotional rates, and opportunities for socially distanced activities. The program runs throughout Summer 2021.
Among the new additions:
Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street’s “Local Escape Package,” featuring an overnight accommodation with 10 percent of the room revenue donated to Boston charities providing COVID-19 relief support, valet parking, a locally-sourced custom amenity, a complimentary visit from the hotel’s “Cocktail Cart,” and a free guide on how to craft the hotel’s signature cocktail, the “Bostonia Bramble.”
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston was robbed March 18, 1990, by two men dressed as Boston police officers. They walked out with 13 priceless pieces of art, including two Rembrandts, a Vermeer, a Manet and five Degas drawings valued today at about $500 million. c. Courtesy of Netflix ©2021
Does something truly qualify as a mystery if nobody knows about it in the first place? Or, put another way: How do you have a whodunnit if you don t even know what the it is?
Two Boston-born filmmakers wrestled with those riddles, along with many, many, many others, in their pursuit of the little-known story of the world s biggest art heist, the 1990 St. Patrick s Day dead-of-the-night rip-off of Boston s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Two Rembrandt paintings, a Vermeer, a Manet and five Degas drawings were among the 13 works stolen that March night. At the time, experts put the value of loss at about $200 million. Today, the artwork is worth somewhere around $500 m

In the movies, the ruling maxim is “print the legend”. After 30 years of investigations of the theft of 13 works valued at more than $500m from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, the legend is still all there is to print.
So we see in
This Is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist, a four-part documentary series on the Gardner theft now streaming on Netflix. The hyperbolic subtitle, like the oft-used adjective “legendary”, is now part of Gardner lore. The series still makes for a head-scratching unsolved mystery for the vast Netflix audience that is new to the cold case. An for the general public, it helps that this true crime tale devolves into yet another Boston mob saga.
