Stolen Jewish Legacies: The Fate of the Andriesse Collection

The exhibition traces the lives and cultural impact of Dutch-Belgian philanthropists and art collectors Hugo Daniel Andriesse (1867-1942) and his wife Elisabeth Andriesse (1871-1963). After they escaped from Brussels to New York in 1940, the Andriesses’ art and textile collection was looted by the Nazi occupation government in Belgium. Some of the collection remains missing.
