The Kunstmuseum in Berne has now formally accepted the bequest of Cornelius Gurlitt’s art collection. (Regular readers will remember that this was reported here as far back as October). The Kunstmuseum says they will return any legitimately claimed works, and keep the rest. More here.
In The Guardian, Nigel Warburton looks at the legal and moral implications of Berne accepting the bequest.
