Introductory tour - The KMSKA during the Tweede Wereldoorlog

The war diaries of Cornette, who stayed in the museum during the occupation, are the common thread during this tour full of tension, emotion, and nuance. You will learn why the Nazis considered certain works as ‘Entartete Kunst’ and how a number of those paintings ended up in the KMSKA. Expect a tour full of stories: from the activities that the German occupier organized in the museum, to bringing the collection to safety in the (bomb-proof) depot and in a castle in the heart of the Ardennes, to the post-war search for looted art by the Amerikaanse Monuments Men.
