Link Round-Up: March 20, 2013


"I saw a version of this being passed around Facebook, that unfortunately just didn't look very nice, so I took I reworked it. There's still a few bits that I'm not so keen on, but I'm happy enough with it now."

The BBC has released new posters for season 7 episodes of Doctor Who.

"In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990 – as the city was preoccupied with Saint Patrick's Day celebrations – a pair of thieves disguised themselves as Boston police officers, gained entry to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and stole thirteen works of art." (Previously held by the Art Theft of 1990.) "The stolen works have a total estimated worth of around $500 million, making the robbery the largest property theft ever"* and "considered the greatest art theft in history." Today the FBI announced that they have identified the people who stole the masterworks. They also said they had determined where the artworks had traveled in the years after the robbery. The FBI said they did not know where they were now and were appealing to the public for their help in finding them. The Gardner Museum is offering a reward of $5 million for information leading to the recovery of these works. I recommend highly watching the 2006 documentary on the art heist: 'Stolen.'
