FILE - In this July 30, 2010 file photo, visitors look at the collection of paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian government says it has asked a U.S. court to dismiss a lawsuit by the heirs of a prominent Jewish collector who seek the return of art worth over $100 million seized during the Holocaust. The Ministry of National Development said Tuesday Feb. 15, 2011 that the suit filed last year by the heirs of Baron Mor Lipot Herzog in the U.S. District Court in Washington should be dismissed, among other reasons, because compensation for the 44 artworks is covered by a 1973 claims agreement between Hungary and the United States.
