As a member of both the American Association of
Museums (AAM) and the Association of Art Museum Directors,
the Snite Museum of Art is reviewing its art collection files
and will continue to add any objects in question to the site
designed and managed by the AAM on behalf of the national
museum community, the Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal,
found at
The Portal provides a searchable registry of objects in museum
collections that were created before 1946 and changed hands
in Continental Europe during the Nazi era (1933-1945). People
seeking objects can use the Portal to refine their search.
For each registered object, the Portal provides an image of
the work and basic descriptive information along with links
to additional information provided by the participating museum.
