German State Culture Minister Monika Grütters speaks to the media after signing an agreement moments before with Swiss and Bavarian representatives over the future of the Gurlitt Collection on November 24, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. Cornelius Gurlitt, son of Nazi-era German art collector Hildebrand Gurlitt, horded a massive collection of art, much of it believed to originate from Jewish families persecuted by the Nazis, in his Munich apartment for decades until Bavarian tax authorites came across it last year in a revelation that stunned the art world. Cornelius Gurlitt has since died and bequeathed the collection to the Kunstmuseum Bern art museum, and the museum, today with the German government, announced it is accepting the collection and outlined its plan how it will deal with possible cliams from families and museums who might have a legitimate claim on the works.
