Join the Gardner’s Director of Security and Director of Conservation as they discuss their experience caring for the Gardner’s collection, and why Rembrandt’s artworks have been repeatedly targeted by criminals, both locally and globally.

Anthony Amore, the Gardner Museum’s Director of Security and Chief Investigator, has spent the last two decades safeguarding the Museum’s collection of great historic and cultural value.

As one of the world’s leading art crime experts, he has also authored numerous books on the subject of art theft.

Holly Salmon, John L. and Susan K. Gardner Director of Conservation, has likewise dedicated over 20 years to the care and wellbeing of Isabella’s acquired objects, conserving the works for the “education and enjoyment of the public forever.”

With unique perspectives to share on the story of the Dutch Room, the empty frames, and the stolen artworks, Anthony and Holly will discuss the Gardner’s place in the history of art crime, the history of the Dutch Room, and why thieves target the work of Rembrandt, one of the world’s most stolen artists.
