Show Notes

Dive into the world of art theft with the Met’s former Chief Security Officer. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Jonathan Smith discover the history of famous art heists and discuss how narrator Mark Sanderson’s deep voice lends an authoritative tone to John Barelli’s memoir. Being responsible for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s vast collection meant not only guarding against thieves but also working to secure the large institution against acts of terrorism. If watching THE GOLDFINCH makes you wonder who would steal priceless works of art — have we got a listen for you! Published by Blackstone Audio.
