Sometime around August of last year (2007), the Wellesley College misplaced a three million dollar painting by Fernand Leger called "Women and Child" Apparently after loaning the painting to a mid-western museum and the museum returning the painting, it was left in its packing crate for several months due to building work then going on.
The school is not sure whether it was unintentionally thrown out or spirited away but somewhere out there is a real treasure to be found. If you are up near the school, perhaps it is time for a jaunt to the local landfill. Anyhow we do not revel in the schools misfortunes, we simply encourage people to be on the lookout for a great misplaced work of art.
The Boston Globe originally broke the story of the missing painting. Here is the link
