Famed Stolen Degas Painting Recovered on City Bus

Description

An Edgar Degas artwork worth almost a million dollars was lifted from a Marseilles museum in the night in 2009. French customs agents uncovered Les Choristes, or The Chorus Singers, while conducting a random inspection of a highway stop about 18 miles east of Paris on Feb. Museum officials learned the painting was missing from the Cantini Museum in late December 2009. The iconic painting, which depicts a string of men performing in famed opera Don Juan, was on loan from a Musee d’Orsay exhibition.
