Discovering Harvard's hidden treasures
Description
June 24 -- This spring two rare prints were reported missing from the Boston Public Library. A Rembrandt and an engraving from the sixteenth century valued at more than $600,000. They turned up after an exhaustive search eight weeks later just eighty feet from where they were supposed to be. But not before the head of the Boston Library resigned. Libraries contain all kinds of valuable treasures and many of which rarely see the light of day. Bloomberg's David Gura reports.
