The biggest art heist in modern history and how a robbery earned the Mona Lisa its fame
The Debrief
Tuesday, 18 March 2025 - 52 minutes
Before it was stolen by a museum workman in 1911, the Mona Lisa was just another artwork hanging in the Louvre. Dane and Lucy chat the story of its brazen robbery and how it launched the work to global fame. They also recap the story of the biggest art heist in modern history, 35 years to the day.
Plus, they mark the news that NASA astronauts Sunny and Butch are finally returning from the space station (as Lucy takes a moment to wonder about Butch’s knickers).
