The Theft of the Mona Lisa presented by Barbara Evans

It was the art theft of the century. On August 21st, 1911, the Mona Lisa, painted by the famous Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci, was stolen from the Louvre in Paris, France. Someone entered the Salon Carré; lifted it off the wall and simply walked out with it. The painting was stolen Monday morning, and baffling as it may be, it wasn't until Tuesday at noon before anyone noticed that the masterpiece was missing!
