Symposium on the Future of Restitution

Symposium on The Future of Restitution - Cultural Objects WWII

On September 12th, 2024, the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) is organizing an international symposium on the future of WWII Restitution Policies, in the Netherlands and abroad. Various contributors will look ahead: what does the future look like? Is an end date to WWII Restitution Policies conceivable? Or a supranational policy? What are the opportunities and challenges in the field of provenance research? And how do we want to deal with “heirless” art with a WWII background? The symposium concludes a year in which the RCE commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Dutch Restitution Policy with various activities. Please join us in September!

All presentations will be held in English.

A limited number of discount tickets is available for students.

Coffee/tea, lunch and drinks are included in the ticket price.

The symposium can only be attended live and will not be streamed or recorded. A written retrospective will be published afterwards.
