	Milwaukee Art Museum review by Ed Rubin
		The museum's current exhibition, Leonardo Da Vinci and the Splendor of Poland, A History of Collecting and Patronage the brainchild of Laurie Winters, the curator of Earlier European Art is a shrewd move on all fronts.
		Museums, especially those controlled by the local authorities, are compelled to engage more fully in all aspects of their communities.
		Churches that had their works transferred to museums and the heirs of families that placed their works for safekeeping in both banks and museums during World War II only to have them confiscated by the Nazis, the Russians and Poland's Communist government are also seen as threat to the museums.

	Czartoryski
		The Czartoryski Museum was founded in 1796 by Princess Izabela Czartoryska to preserve the Polish heritage in keeping with the Princess' motto: "The Past to the Future".
		Although at the end of the war the Czartoryskis encountered resistance to bringing the collection back in Poland, the collection is finally restored to the museum in Krakow in 1920.
		From that moment the museum, whose curator was to die in a concentration camp, is closed to the public.

	LACMA Returns Rare Medieval Textile Seized By Nazis To Polish Museum
		The late medieval Persian or Mughal textile, a light-weight tapestry composed of silk and metallic threads, was deposited by the Prince and Princess Czartoryski at the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Krakow, Poland, in September 1931.
		The piece remained at the museum until the summer of 1939, when it and other treasures from the museum were secretly taken out of the city and hidden from the German army behind a fake wall at Sieniawa Palace outside Krakow.
		In the summer of 1940 the majority of the collection from her palace at Goluchow was returned to the museum and subsequently sent to her in Warsaw.

		The exhibition was designed and put together by the museum's new curator together with a number of museum directors from Poland, and came to be by the power of generous support from Polish museums, philanthropists, Polish American organizations and the general public.
		The exhibition is one of the largest undertakings since the Milwaukee's museum completed its renovations and the construction of a new pavilion two years ago.
		Rubin noted that with the current exhibit the Milwaukee Art Museum has gone from "the second to the first rate" and that his only criticism as a person of a Russian-Jewish heritage concerned the 19th century Jewish artists' paintings which were placed too far "in the back".

		This collection was originally exhibited at the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and closey followed by the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Royal Academy of Arts in London and Altes Museum in Berlin, where it has consistently attracted critical acclaim.

	VMFA: What's New: VMFA TO RETURN PAINTING LOOTED BY NAZIS TO DESCENDANT OF RIGHTFUL POLISH OWNERS
		The portrait is known to have been in the Czartoryski family collection in the Goluchów Castle Museum in Poland as early as 1890.
		As part of the museum's ongoing Nazi-era provenance research project, VMFA staff researched the Mostaert painting in the fall of 2004 and subsequently found an entry on the Polish Embassy's on-line catalogue of wartime losses that directly corresponded to the portrait.
		In May of 2004, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts board of trustees voted to deaccession a 16th-century French painting, "Portrait of Jean d'Albon," and return it to the heirs of the late Austrian collector Julius Priester, from whom it is believed to have been stolen by the Gestapo in 1944.

		The tapestry was conveyed to the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow on May 10, 2003 by Minister of Foreign Affairs Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz.
