Museums, especially in Germany, robbed many objects in old countries: from Egypt, Greece, Iraq. Nearly impossible for the original nations to get the things back. Nefertiti (German: Nofrotete) is in Berlin, where she never belonged to. In the “Third Reich” the Nazi administration has stolen many great paintings from Jewish citizens. Still many of them are trying, aged over 90, to get back their possessions from Germany. Justice tries to act as slowly as possible to solve the problem. Maybe in 50 years? The victims then would be aged 140. The following photo was shot not in a German museum but in Vienna by my friend Thomas Lieser. Nevertheless, I am always glad, if I can discover a soul, a really true soul in a museum. And I am more than glad, if that soul even discovers me!

Many treasures rest in British museums that should never have left their homelands but I don’t know the answers.
