The Swiss government today started a new Internet portal to help claimants, museums and researchers track down art looted by the Nazis that has found its way to Switzerland, an art-market hub before and during World War II.
The new portal offers advice on provenance research, links to relevant databases and archives, and details on museums’ own studies of their collections, the Federal Culture Office said in a statement. It is to be presented at a conference in Bern today, according to the statement.
