Museum Displays Looted Art

Posted by Markus On January - 18 - 2009

751826_national_archives_march_2007There were a lot of things that the Nazis did, and the atrocities that they committed are still talked about today. One of the things they did that isn’t talked about as much is looting.

They stole a lot of things, including around fifty paintings by the Dutch Old Masters. Now, those paintings are going to be on display in the Jewish Museum in New York. If you have your own artwork that you want to display, one of the best ways to do that is through scrapbooking.

Get yourself a Cricut Guide and start making pages that you’ll be able to remember and enjoy for a long time into the future. It’s a great thing to do with family and friends, too, and can help bring you closer to all of them.
