The Restitution of Knowledge

Between 1884 and 1919 thousands of objects, artworks and human remains were shipped from all over the world to museums in Europe. Many of those were acquired during colonial wars or so-called “punitive expeditions”. But what exactly can be called a “punitive expedition”? Can these collections be then considered as trophies or spoils of war? What responsibility do museums have today regarding these looted treasures? What histories of violence are attached to those objects? more to: The Restitution of Knowledge

Acquisitions made by the Berlin State Museums on the Parisian Art Market during the Occupation 1940-1944

The aim of this project is to systematically and comprehensively reconstruct for the first time the acquisitions made by the Berlin State Museums on the Parisian art market during the German occupation. Based on the acquisitions made by the Berlin State Museums during the occupation, this project will also aim to fill a gap in research on the Parisian art market, by contributing to our knowledge of its central players as well as their networks in the international antiquities trade. more to: Acquisitions made by the Berlin State Museums on the Parisian Art Market during the Occupation 1940-1944
