Today, we’re joined by the fabulous Amanda Matta, host of the Art of History podcast, to talk about theft and New York’s Metropolitan Museum. On the one hand, the Met has acquired a good chunk of its collection by dubious means, including the purchase of looted objects. On the other hand, the museum itself has become the target of thieves, leading to some of New York’s most astounding art heists.
