Missing Art from Museums
March 17 2021

Artdaily.com have published a short article on the amount of art that goes missing from museums. According to several museum insiders, institutions are particularly keen to keep the lid on things when something goes missing especially when reputations are at risk. Outdated inventories are also blamed, which can mean works of art can have been missing for years before they are spotted as missing.
As AHN often points out, keeping art out of storage and on display is one way such problems can be averted.
