The lists of works of art for which immunity from seizure is currently sought by UK museums are available online.  The UK's Protection for Cultural Objects on Loan Act 2007 provides immunity from seizure for works of art brought into the UK for temporary exhibition.  The legislation requires museums to publish a list of works intended to be brought into the UK for at least one month prior to the exhibition, with photographs and full provenance details of each object.  The following institutions are currently seeking immunity for forthcoming exhibitions: the V&A Cold War Modern.

The German Historical Museum in Berlin has launched a complete online catalogue of Hitler's famous Linz Collection.   Hitler bought and stole the artworks between the mid 1930s and 1945 with the aim of exhibiting the collection in a museum in Linz, Austria.  After the war, the Alies photographed and catalogued each of the 4,731 pieces, including paintings and sculptures as well as furniture and works in porcelain.  In the six decades since, the works have been scattered, distributed to museums in Germany and across Europe or returned to their original owners.  The collection appears online, in German only, with information about the original owner and current location of each work of art, when available, and is fully searchable.  

Photographs of the 74 paintings and two tapestries in 'Katalog der Privat-Gallerie Adolf Hitlers', a photographic catalogue of Hitler's private art collection, have been posted online by the US Library of Congress. 

The Nuremberg Municipal Library has published a first list of 115 former owners from Nuremberg and Franconia of looted books in its collection whose heirs are being sought. Click here for details and further information.
