The Saliera
Benvenuto Cellini created The Saliera in the 16th century for King Francis I of France. It is a 10-inch-tall gold salt-and-pepper container sculpture. The $57 million work of art was stolen from a Vienna museum in 2003; it was then found by the authorities a few years later.
The Concert
A $200 million artwork by renowned Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is titled The Concert. It was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990 together with eleven other pieces of art. That day, $500 million worth of artwork was stolen by the criminals.
The Amber Room
The “Eighth Wonder of the World” was perhaps the early 18th-century Amber Room. The golden room was created by artist Frederick for the Russian king, but it was finally taken by the Nazis in 1941. There are rumors that the chamber was saved and hidden someplace, despite the fact that many people think it was destroyed along with the castle in 1945.
