Welcome to IMA Dashboard, an ongoing effort to measure various aspects of the Museum's performance. We welcome your comments on our progress in serving the IMA's mission. To navigate the Dashboard in particular areas, the tabs at the top of the screen drop down to allow for more detail. The goal of the Dashboard is to seek to quantify and report out on areas of activity of general interest to museum observers and to particular interest to museum studies specialists, colleagues, and patrons.

IMA works of art listed on AAM's Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal

DESCRIPTION
While the IMA maintains a listing of 3,328 works of art in its collection for which provenance information is currently available, 418 works are currently listed on AAM's Nazi-Era Provenance Internet Portal – a searchable registry of objects in U.S. museum collections that changed hands in Continental Europe during the Nazi era (1933-1945).

Under the Nazi regime, works of art were unlawfully stolen and resold or destroyed on a massive scale. Some of those works have made their way to U.S. museums. It is the IMA’s responsibility, along with other museums around the country, to aid in the recovery and restitution of looted art after the war.

Provenance means the history of ownership of a work of art. It derives from the French verb "provenir," meaning to come forth, originate.
