First up, we mark the 34th anniversary of the Gardner Museum theft. It’s the ultimate whodunnit in the world of art heists, with the stolen works valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. AND, with a 10 million dollar reward on the table, the tip hotline never goes cold. Then, in the land down under, women rule and men’s egos are torn asunder–at least one man felt diminished when he was denied entry to the women’s-only Ladies Lounge, an art exhibition designed to highlight centuries of female exclusion. Now he’s suing for discrimination. Finally, his name is Taylor-Johnson. Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Will the British leading man be the next James Bond? That and more next on the Culture Show’s week-in-review, broadcasting live from the GBH studio at the Boston Public Library.
