What is this?
Join BMAV for an intriguing presentation by Barbara Evans about the art theft of the (last) century — the Mona Lisa! On August 21st, 1911, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in Paris, France. Someone entered the Salon Carré, lifted it off the wall and simply walked out with it. The painting was stolen Monday morning, and baffling as it may be now, it wasn't until Tuesday at noon before anyone noticed that the masterpiece was missing!
Who stole the Mona Lisa and why? How did the authorities recover the painting?
For the answers to these questions, join us for a richly illustrated presentation about the theft of the most famous painting in the world! Presentation will be on zoom. RSVP via email before May 16 to director@bmavillage.org for meeting login.
