Nazi looted art in Dutch museums


In 2009  the Dutch Museum Association began an investigation into artworks that had been stolen, confiscated or sold under duress during the Nazi era between 1933 and the end of the Second World War.
163 museums out of 400 took part. (SEE MUSEUMS)

A report on the progress of research into Nazi looted art and duress sales was written by Prof. dr. Rudi E.O. Ekkart and drs. Helen C.M. Schretlen (Publication: Museumvereniging, 2014) and is available here:
