Just after midnight on March 18, 1990, two men dressed as Boston police officers arrived at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
They were allowed inside after claiming they were responding to a disturbance.
Once inside, the two men restrained the security guards and made their way through the galleries.
Over the next 81 minutes, they stole 13 works of art, including pieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Degas, and Manet.
The thieves left the museum at 2:45 a.m.
More than three decades later, all 13 works remain missing.
The museum is still offering up to $10 million for information leading to their recovery.
What happened to the paintings after they disappeared?
