Restitued Objects
Research has confirmed that the objects on the Restituted Objects list were appropriated from their owners by illicit actions (e.g. confiscation, forced sale, theft) during the period of the Nazi era but were subsequently restituted to the rightful owner or heir prior to acquisition by the Queensland Art Gallery. The provenance data cited includes information about the known movements of those objects from the time they were taken from their owners, until they were returned.
