 Michael Harrington, SRN News. A Swiss museum has pulled down five paintings, including a Van Gogh and a Monet, after the foundation that owns them called for a deeper look at their origins. This follows the establishment of new U.S. guidelines on how to handle artworks once confiscated from Jewish families by the Nazis. The foundation that owns the museum says it's looking to reach a fair and equitable solution with the legal successors, the former owners of the artwork.
