Hidden story

Stolen and found in a monastery

Seven masterpieces were stolen in one night.

Read the storyClose

On the night of 5 November 1983, thieves climbed in through scaffolding and stole seven paintings, including two Raphaels and works by Tintoretto and Titian. It was the biggest art theft in Hungarian history. A few months later, the paintings were found hidden in the garden of a Greek monastery, and they returned to the museum.
