Kunsthalle
In the summer of 2001, the museum made world headlines with the stunning announcement that a treasure trove ofart, which had hung here for a century until its disappearance in 1945, had been returned. The story behind the theft and the return is rather convoluted story and involves Nazis, Soviet troops, the KGB, a Japanese businessman and an Azerbaijani wrestler. Nevertheless, the rare paintings worth millions had made it home. The star of the stolen works is Dürer's drawing, “The Women's Bathhouse” closely followed by Rembrandt’s drawing, “Woman Standing with Raised Hands”. Irrespective of the theft and return, the gallery has long been celebrated for its 19th- and 20th-century French and German art, including paintings by such masters as Rubens, Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Delacroix, Courbet, and Picasso. The stolen works can still be seen on display, but only on a Tuesday. The Kuntshalle is worth a good two hour visit. [more] |
