The Darker Side of Museum Art: Acquisition and Restitution of Cultural Objects with a Dubious Provenance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2005
Abstract
Museums face what has been called an ethical crisis of illegitimate acquisitions and reluctant restitution. Some claims go far back (like the Elgin Marbles), others are of more recent origin, like those concerning so-called Holocaust Art. Claims often are not purely legal in nature but also have a moral aspect. The government of The Netherlands has chosen, for a policy-oriented approach to deal with claims from the Second World War, a third way of conflict resolution.
