Δ EXHIBITION TOUR

“COLLECTED. BOUGHT. LOOTED? Case Studies from a Colonial and National Socialist Context”

Alessa Sänger will guide through the exhibition and give insights into the working and research process.

How did ancestor figures from Nias off the western coast of Sumatra enter the European art market in the early twentieth century? Why could the museum buy objects rather ‘cheaply’ in Paris and Amsterdam in the early 1940s? Is a weapon belt from South Africa war booty?

These are just some of the questions arising from a critical review of the Weltkulturen Museum’s collection.
Further information about the exhibition here.

Δ TALK

In April 1941 the Städtisches Völkermuseum in Frankfurt bought 61 ethnographic objects from the Dutch Jewish art dealer Carel van Lier in Amsterdam. Part of this collection was recuperated after the war by the Dutch State. Van Lier’s grandson, writer and journalist Bas van Lier, issued a claim in 2006 and finally was given back one object, an ivory hunting horn from Congo. In his lecture he will elaborate on the backgrounds of his claim and the dilemmas around looted art.
