Each episode tackles a coveted object, from its origins to its controversial arrival in museums, galleries, or private collections. Funny, tragic, and often outrageous, these stories challenge the sanitized narratives surrounding these acquisitions.
Prepare to see the world through a new lens. By understanding the complex past of these stolen treasures, we gain a deeper understanding of the present and ourselves.
