Under the title Bought. Collected. Looted?, four Frankfurt museums have joined forces to show, in the words of exhibition's subheading "how things came into the museum".
Cooperation:
Historical Museum Frankfurt
Jewish Museum Frankfurt/Judengasse Museum
Museum Angewandt Kunst
Weltkulturen Museum
The impetus for this project came from preparations to show the temporary exhibition Legalised Theft. The Fiscal Authorities and the Plundering of the Jews of hesse 1933-1945 by the Fritz Bauer Institute and the Hessischer Rundfunk. The Historical Museum invited the other museums to similarly address the topic of provenance research in their collections. In this process, each of these museums opened up different perspectives on the topic.
