Intercultural Days Dresden:
Stolen Books, looted Art - Insights into Provenance Research in Dresden
How do the pieces of art end up in museums and books in libraries?
Provenance research focuses on the history and owners of such cultural objects - from their creation to their current location. Occasionally, gaps or inconsistencies come to light, such as in the case of unlawful expropriations.
As part of the
Intercultural Days, provenance researchers from the Dresden State Art Collections and the SLUB will highlight selected cases of how they trace the origin of objects. The event will take place on
October 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the
COSMO Science Forum in the Kulturpalast. Free of charge.
