Interesting news from Spain that the sale of 95 works of art from the Monasterio de Sijena to the National Museum of Art of Catalonia has been barred by the Spanish Supreme Court. The works have been deemed as integral to the history of the monastery and thus are protected by the appropriate laws in place. It seems that much of the collection of the religious institution had been looked after by the museum, with several works being sold to them in the 1990s.
