Stealing the Show: A History of Art and Crime in Six Thefts by John Barelli

informative mysterious medium-paced

3.0

I found this book interesting because I read a lot about art theft and the history of museums. The book title is a misnomer. Famous art thefts are discussed along with smaller thefts at the Met. The second half of the book is mostly his history of famous people coming to visit the museum and all the security protocols taken. If the book had a different title, a solid four star.
