Episode The Man Who Stole the Mona Lisa

Discover the strange and surprisingly funny true story of how the world's most famous painting disappeared for more than two years, why Pablo Picasso became involved in the investigation, and how the theft itself may have helped turn the Mona Lisa into the cultural icon we know today.
