SUMMARY:Looted Art Part 1: How Napoleon Changed Museums
DESCRIPTION:Artworks have been subjected to looting throughout history\, especially during times of war. However\, Napoleon Bonaparte’s unprecedented looting at the end of 18th century and what followed after his fall from power has been transformative in unexpected ways. In the first of a two-part series\, we’ll explore the fascinating stories of some of the most famous artworks\, how they ended up where they are today\, and the long-lasting consequences of Napoleon’s looting\, from the idea of public “universal museums” to the practice of restitution of looted art.
