Sometimes you have to live on the edge. And what better way than joining the Arsht Center in Miami for a 90-minute socially distanced “show” where participants try to solve a crime?
“Put your NCIS, CSI and Law & Order skills to use and walk off the quarantine poundage to solve a ripped-from-the-walls, real-life master robbery of 13 works of art, valued at half a billion dollars,” notes the venue’s website.
“The Art Heist Experience,” which runs through April 4, is based on the true story of the art caper that took place at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on March 19, 1990. Gaining entrance posing as police officers, two burglars told the museum guards they were responding to a disturbance only to make out with $500 million worth of prized art from masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer and Manet. The thieves have never been caught.
During the event, socially distanced groups move through five locations gathering clues. “The amateur gumshoes interact with a wild group of wily career criminals, slimy con men, rumpled art-recovery specialists, a possible inside man, a gentle psychopath and the larger-than-life but definitely real self-proclaimed Greatest Art Thief of All Time,” notes the website.
What can participants expect? Intrigue, high stakes and laughs.
