As part of its role as a responsible steward of its collection, the Milwaukee Art Museum conducts ongoing provenance research for the artworks in its care. The Museum focuses, in particular, on documenting provenance for objects that may have been in continental Europe during the Nazi era (1933–45), when hundreds of thousands of artworks were systematically confiscated, looted, destroyed, and sold. The Museum follows the standards and guidelines established by the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) and the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). It similarly follows the guidelines of AAM for antiquities. See more details here.
