Rec. #540: French Museum Discovers More Than Half Its Collection Is Forged




What: A recent All Things Considered gave us this story of a museum overrun with fakes, which I'm sure will (and should!) be turned into a movie at some point. It is fascinating.

Representative quote: "Forcada, the art historian who first sounded the alarm, noticed buildings that appear in some of the paintings didn't actually exist in Terrus' time."

How to get it: Listen to the episode or read the article at NPR here
