Description: Museum Worthy examines the history behind works of art that were looted in western Europe by the Nazis during the Second World War and never returned to their rightful owners, instead claimed by postwar governments of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands for display in museums, embassies, ministries, and other public buildings.
Review Quotes: "Museum Worthy is a worthwhile read. This book offers a useful and important perspective on restitution history. The mishandling of restitution in these three nations has had implications for the state of restitution today, which Campbell clearly hints at. A contemporary comparative study of the fallout of this lack of museum ethics in the modern-day realm of restitution would be most welcome. Art historians, historians, and legal experts should find this to be a useful read." -- Katlyn M.W. Rozovics, University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"The book is richly illustrated, both in terms of images of looted items and through individual stories of loss and recovery. The reader is introduced to the voices of victims, restitution advocates, museum directors, and politicians through Campbell's extensive archival research in multiple countries as well as through memoirs and interviews. [Museum Worthy] contributes to a growing body of scholarship related to restitution and reparations that engages with the enormous, ongoing, and transnational impact of the Holocaust." -- Shannon L. Fogg, American Historical Review
