    The Alcatraz Escape: Boldest Prison Break in U.S. History

    Expedition Unknown: Escape from the Rock

  • The Mona Lisa wasn't always the household name it is today. For most of its existence, it was respected as a beautiful piece of art by artists and critics. In 1911, a man named Vincenzo Peruggia stole the masterpiece from its spot in the Louvre, which catapulted the Mona Lisa into worldwide fame. Morgan and Emileigh discuss the history of the Louvre, the Mona Lisa, and the man who changed the art world forever.
