Works of art ‘taken during Nazi persecution and hidden for decades’ go on display

It includes works by Albrecht Duerer, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro.

Some 250 art works that a reclusive collector hid from the world for decades, including pieces likely looted from Jewish owners under Nazi rule, are going on show at a German museum.

The paintings being shown from Thursday at Bonn's Bundeskunsthalle are from the huge art collection hoarded by late collector Cornelius Gurlitt.
