The oldest art museum in Switzerland, the Kunstmuseum Bern unexpectedly became heir to the collection of Cornelius Gurlitt in 2014 — a hoard that included works looted or sold under duress during the Nazi era. The bequest forced the museum into a delicate, high-profile role in provenance research and restitution.
