Art Two Artworks Stolen from UWS Museum, One Returned by Mail
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 10:24 AM
Yesterday Newsday reported that one of the pieces, "Talung Monastery," had been returned to the museum in the mail, and that investigators are now examining the piece in hopes of finding the thief. That should prove pretty easy, since the envelope apparently had a return address on it, which makes me suspect even more that this was an inside job devised to attract publicity for a fairly unknown museum. If so, it's working: Nicholas Roerich Museum info here, read more about the theft here, and the return here.
