One puzzle not solved from yesterday, now worth a muffin!

The Great Detectivewas called in to solve a mystery. A valuable painting has disappeared from a small exhibit. A reproduction was in its place. The puzzle was that there was only a five-minute span and no-one saw anyone leaving with a large roll or package. Upon examining the substitute, the Great Detective saw that it didn't fit inside the frame properly. He knew where the real painting was. Where?
