A museum in the Swiss capital agreed to accept an art trove bequeathed to it this year by German collector Cornelius Gurlitt, and vowed to return any works in the hoard stolen by the Nazis.
Kunstmuseum Bern said today it will take the legally acquired art Gurlitt left it, and work with the German government to return works that belonged to Jews before World War II and were confiscated by the regime.
