Provenance research and Repatriations

Since 2015, the Übersee-Museum has conducted two long-term projects on Nazi looted property in its holdings, funded by the Arbeitsstelle für Provenienzforschung (Working Group for Provenance Research) and its successor, the Deutsches Zentrum Kulturgutverluste (German Center for the Loss of Cultural Property). Currently, a third long-term project, again supported by the German Center for the Loss of Cultural Property, is researching the provenance of collection items from a colonial context.
