Research into cultural property missing from
the museum
The museum states that objects from its
collection were looted between April and July 1945 during the US occupation of
the area. Part of the collection may have been shipped to the US or destroyed;
some weapons may have been removed by individual soldiers. As most of the
inventory lists are missing, the museum notes that further information might
have to be searched for in US archives. The museum holds two partial inventory
lists from the late 1920s. Copies are available from the Central Registry
