New State Law Requires Museums to Identify Nazi-Looted Art

New State Law Requires Museums to Identify Nazi-Looted Art
Share

In August, Governor Kathy Hochul signed a series of new laws intended to support Holocaust survivors in educational, cultural and financial institutions. Within the legislative package is a law requiring museums to identify displayed artwork stolen during Europe’s Nazi era with a placard or other signage. Though the law was implemented immediately at signing, the parameters of enforcement are not specified and many museums have not yet implemented changes.
