Ep. 247: The Guy Who Stole The Mona Lisa

Just the mention of the name “Mona Lisa” sparks images of a cherub faced woman, half-smiling, hanging on a wall at the Louvre.  This is true of almost EVERYONE on the planet, but that was not always the case.  As a matter of fact, the Mona Lisa is kind of famous for being famous, and all that started with it being stolen from the Louvre in 1911.  Noah Charney is a Art History expert with an exceptional knowledge of art crime, and the tale he weaves is really unbelievable.  Almost as unbelievable as there being three Noah Charney’s in the world, all to the day exactly the same age.  That is also really true and you will learn everything in this episode.
