Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Art's return of a painting stolen by the Nazis in 1940 to its rightful owners is hailed as a model for others engaged in similar claims. The painting, \"Madonna and Child in a Landscape,\" painted by Lucas Cranach in the 16th-century, was in turn sold back to the museum by the family for $600,000. It is the first such claim to stolen art work to end without a long court fight.

Even the greatest works of art fall victim to the ravages of time. Conservators today use their expertise to repair paintings from the canvas up and just not paint over sections needing repair as their predecessors did. Restoration of the North Carolina Museum of Art's famous \"Views of Dresden,\" painted by Bernado Bellotto in 1747 and 1748, is discussed. Originally purchased in 1952 for $10,000 each, the paintings are now worth $10 million a piece.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Art had a unique beginning, one that was both scoffed at and praised. In 1947, North Carolina became the first state to appropriate funds for a public art collection, when the General Assembly approved $1-million to purchase works of art. The Museum of Art was not opened until the 1950s. Today, it is the cultural showplace of the state and is visited by over a quarter of a million people annually.
