Museum Exhibit Continues Story of Art Stolen By Nazis

In most art exhibits, each piece has a plaque that identifies the title, artist, subject, and style. At the Jewish Museum's newest exhibit, however, each plaque has two descriptions. The first is a standard explanation of the piece. The second explains who owned the painting before the Nazis stole it -- and how it was later recovered. "Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art" shows not only the breadth of cultural heritage smuggled away by the Nazis but also the journeys the pieces of art went on after being recovered from Nazi vaults or transports.
