The Kunstmuseum Luzern, with the support of the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Kultur (BAK, Federal Culture Agency), have examined the first works with regard to their provenance and published the results. Many questions remain unresolved, however, and not all archives were accessible. The Kunstmuseum Luzern has now intensified its continuous examination of works that entered the museum between 1933 and 1945 and during the post-war period and has establish ed this among its permanent tasks. The collection exhibition Woher kommst du? Wie Kunst in die Sammlung gelangt<\/em><\/a> presents some initial findings and open questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canton Luzern and the City of Luzern support the further development of provenance research and assume part of the costs. They regard the reappraisal of the past as a central and continuous task and have incorporated this into the service agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
