Lost Nazi-era art collection goes on display

After lost decades in a squalid Munich apartment and five years in a secret depot, the notorious Gurlitt art collection has finally gone on public display.
Some 450 of the most valuable works – lost paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, Monet and others – have gone on view in two shows in Bonn and in Berne.
The parallel exhibitions also explain the problematic history of the 1,500-item collection comprising painting, sketches and sculptures.

Whenever I see "Nazis" and "art", I think of the excellent 1964 movie by John Frankenheimer named "The Train", with Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield and Jeanne Moreau.

If you've never seen it, worth watching on streaming video or downloading it from "wherever"...

I've heard that is a real good movie, on some people's list of best war movies.
