ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM ROBBERIES


On the night of March 18 1990, a pair of thieves disguised as Boston police officers entered the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and roamed the Museum's galleries, stealing thirteen works of art.

This infographic tries to explain the facts with a chronological order. We can see on the left one part explaining with some text and the sequence of images what happened that night.

Upside I put the museum with the logotype but emphasizing on the fact that I was going to talk about: the robberies. 

The stolen artworks where caught from the two floors that the flat have. From the first floor only one was stolen but from the second floor the robbers had stolen some more art works. I put the most important on the graphic but the total was 13. The total value of the robbery was 300.000.000$.

Refering to the colors, I preferred to use brown and green in relation to the museum which logo is in green also. The polices are blue and red because the blue is the real one and the red is the thief (that has the letters of the uniform changed just to emphasize that he's not a real police).

I hope you'll understand my infographic and better on if you like it also!

  4. Hi Helena. This inforgraphic illustrated the historic hist with a simple explanation between "the good cop and the bad" - a fine detail, which shows good designer skills. Also the small description as the floor where the paintings got stolen from. Original, creative and a good balance between the serious topic and the way you illustrate the informations.
