Loot in Pop Culture: The Simpsons

It's always interesting when issues surrounding looted or stolen objects of cultural property show up in pop culture. The always clever Simpsons shared their version of where Vermeer's Concert, one of the works stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, ended up. Shame on you, Mr. Burns!

Thanks to The New York Times ArtsBeat for posting this clip!
