Interpol Launches Art Database


Interpol has unveiled an online database of about 34,000 items known to have gone missing or been stolen.
According to The Guardian, it seems like anyone can subscribe to this database.

Open to interested individuals as well as governments, museums, galleries and auction houses, the database features masterpieces by artists such as Caravaggio, Titian and Degas as well as a host of other, lesser known paintings, sculptures, pieces of furniture and jewellery. Among the items featured are Cézanne’s The Boy in the Red Vest and Rembrandt’s The Storm of the Sea of Galilee, which was taken from a US gallery in a 1990 heist considered the biggest in history.
