Description
When a painting goes missing, we all lose a piece of our common heritage. Museum of the Missing offers readers a rare glimpse of the greatest gallery that never was. Simon Houpt brilliantly recounts the story of its valuable holdings and investigates some of the men and women involved in the thefts. Filled with beautiful paintings and rarely seen photographs, this intriguing book is also a recognition of the ingenious few who are trying to get these treasures back. - Jacket.
